I had the same problem with our own website. We pay a 3rd party $$$
per month to host and design our site, and they're a Winblows-only
development shop. If it looks okay in IE at 800x600, it must be fine.
Ignore users at 1600x1280, screw Netscape users, and forget Lynx completely.
I pointed out that to non-IE users, our CEO's name was too small to
read. It got fixed.
Then, there's the problems that appear when the designers are
on a 100mb ethernet into the server and don't consider the poor
fools still on 28800 modems who have to download the 2meg applet
that produces their 2Kool welcome banner.
I disable java and javascript when I'm browsing.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
