Re: Too big for easy changes: >> They made a half-hearted attempt years ago to accomodate differences in browsers because they wanted their web site to look good to everybody

Wow ! Wow ! What a sincere attempt to portray microsoft as a very nice company, who tries to accomodate everyone !!! Did you ever carefully read the article ? If not, at least read the following sentence from the article.
