Ivan, there are a LOT of reasons that IE6 is in use and why we, web developers can't do much about it. For starters, there are a lot of old computers out there, esp in developing countries. Go spend some time in S.E. Asia and walk into an internet cafe. Who's going to up grade that browser? There are a lot of schools running donated machinery and their main objective is to just keep them running, not add the latest bloatware from MSFT or install some 3rd party browser. The same goes for small libraries. You and I might wish IE6 a fast death, but the only people who can do anything about it are MSFT and users. If you aren't building a site for wide use, you can turn your back on it. But if you're working for a business that needs web traffic, you just can't afford to be picky.
