You'd be surprised how many people still use a dumb browser! Thankfully though, it seems that people are wising up a bit more, as these stats from a media website show: Safari 4 2624 Firefox 3.5 1320 Firefox 3 690 IE 8 501 IE 6 465 IE 7 417 Safari 3.2 171 Firefox 2 151 Mozilla 1.9 109 Unknown 0 56 Safari 3.1 53 Chrome 3 34 Safari 3 19 Google Webmaster Tools 0 7 Flock 2 5 Opera 10 1 This is a media-based website, which would explain the large use of browsers available for the Mac, but I still take it as a good sign. Thanks, Ash

Ash: As you know, stats really depend upon the site tested. I have one site where over 99 percent of the visitors are Mac users (over 120 unique visitors each day). The following link I think provides more typical browser selection stats. http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp Fortunately IE6 is on the way out (good riddance) and other IE's are losing ground (Woo Hoo!). More browser developers are trying to adhere to standards rather than fighting them like M$ does. As I see it, it always takes M$ a little more time to learn anything worthwhile.
