Guys. As an Internet professional since 15 years, I would like to say that it is not Microsoft's fault when people build websites that are only accessible under certain circumstances.
The market share for web browser for the last quarter reads as follows: Browser Market Share Calendar Q2, 2009 Browser Total Market Share Microsoft Internet Explorer 65.85% Firefox 22.39% Safari 8.46% Chrome 1.74% Opera 0.70% Netscape 0.56% source: http://marketshare.hitslink.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qprid=0&qpmr=100&qpdt=1&qpct=0&qptimeframe=Q 66% of all users are using Internet Explorer. Making a site accessible only for IE users gives you only 66% of users. Making it Firefox and Safari compatible should be a no-brainer. I am using all browsers because it is part of my job and allow me to point out that Internet Explorer in it's latest version 8 is astoundingly fast and a modern browser as well. For Mac users I can only recommend upgrading their browser to the latest version of Safari and maybe installing Opera on the side. Opera I found very speedy and filled with likeable features. Safari was very buggy in it's beginnings and was barely usable.

I think it was version 4. I hope we can do something about the web site because Internet Exploder is losing share to the other faster browsers like Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc. Larry Snyder Washington, Missouri On Jul 5, 2009, at 11:20 AM, "Ed Burkhead" <[email protected]> wrote: Dan C. asked: > Am I the only one unable to view the photos? > I'm logged in and found the link; but nothing opens. The pictures can only be seen if you use Internet Explorer. I’m afraid the web page tool Skip uses is something non-standard and is not compatible with the browsers that a large percentage of us use. The last time I looked, some parts of the EOC website (like the front page) have this same fault. You’ve probably got IE lurking on your computer so fire it up and the pictures should show.
