Hey Georg and others,

So, I would like to learn more about the above @media filter... If I 
ever use it again, I want to be sure I am applying it correctly.

I have read that using @media will hide from these browsers:

        •       Netscape 4.x
        •       Mac IE 4.01
        •       Mac IE 5.0
        •       Win IE 4
        •       Konqueror 3.0


Questions:

1. Does anyone have a link to an (official) IE7 website/web-page that 
talks about this filter?

2. Is this filter an acceptable alternative to conditional comments?

3. Could someone elaborate a bit more on this statement:

> put after all other styles so not to interfere with other @media rules 
> if there are any

What happens if I do have other @media rules? If I did have other 
@media rules, would I just combine them into one @media rule and put at 
bottom of CSS?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  :)

Thanks m8s,
Cheers,
Micky
