Know of any other sites that have completely dropped CSS support for

Re IE5/Mac: see the thread from August 4, 'Re: [WSG] Support for
IE5/Mac? (was Browser stats)'.
Ah, hehe, sorry if I brought-up a convo that has been already started.
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I was criticising; that previous
thread doesn't really answer your question anyway, but it does give you
some options (and rationale) on how to go about it. Just thought you'd
be interested.
Reading that thread now.
I guess I am just a bit surprised to see more and more sites doing
something to force their users to upgrade. I guess if I were an IE
5.2/Mac user, I would prefer this over seeing a broken layout.
Hmm... 'force' is too strong a word. We should never 'force' our
visitors to do anything! But *inviting* them to upgrade by serving a
plain text site - nothing wrong with that. Absolutely preferable to a
broken layout, IMO.
Oh - and a recent peruse of one of my sites' stats showed a (thankfully
singular) visitor using ... wait for it ... Explorer 1.0. I guess
there's no helping some people...
