Out of interest, does anyone know how many OS 9 users are still out
there?

Of course they can upgrade - to OSX. OS9 itself is, if not
officially obsolete, shall we say deprecated? Macs haven't been
made to boot into 9 for some time now. OSX *will* run on most Macs
(albeit slowly) unless they're *really* old and underpowered...
Reality check: it's 2001. The world moves on, and I think that
delivering a typographically styled but layout deficient version of
a site (with a polite explanation of why the presentation is
limited) to users of obsolete browsers is far better than giving
them a site that's broken, especially if it's preventing usability.
It can only help to weed these browseers out of the scene,
eventually - and then we won't have to worry about them at all!
