You haven't dealt with state bureaucracies and their oddball software very much, have you? At the university I work at (as a database and web programmer, no less, all of whose products work with most platforms...I've even tested my stuff against lynx...which is a great way of quickly ensuring that your website is probably ADA-compliant, btw*) we have several "enterprise" sites that only work with IE on Windows. One group even has a widely used PDF form that will only work with IE on Windows. The state's physician registry has a public facing physician search page that does not work with anything but IE on Windows..or did as of about a year ago, the last I checked. (the latter prompted me to write a rather strongly worded email to the webmaster of the site about public access to public records, and I got an email back, basically saying 'I know, I know...I've pointed it out a bunch of times, but the so-called 'programmer' that the board hired cannot figure out how to do anything without his pet programming tools which only work on Windows'.) *This is why, when I last counted, I had something like 20 web browsers installed on my development system, across 5 operating systems... -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
