@Tom:
GOOD, thats the way to go!!!  [<-- oh man,,, you really hate those
extra exclamations!, sorry about that]

@aaron:
My friend, I live in such country (Cuba, I think I'm the only cuban
here, which is pretty cool btw)... a very under-developed country...
trust me... internet explorer 6 is gone here 4EVER... ;-)

In general, IE6 is still used due to:

1. Ignorance (in the best sense): users that just dont know HOW to upgrade
2. Corp Rules: Enforced by corporations

Why are they still there? Because we still support it.. not just us,
the mootools community but the whole web[development && design] sector
as well.

Its time to STOP... there are over 100+ sites promoting it... what has
failed is the proposition to Switch (which is GOOD) but strikes fear
in a hell lotta people.... what about.... UPGRADE or SWITCH? Thats
less fearful, I guess...

I'm joining the parade on stopping IE6 usage... I'm just starting my
own personal site after 4 years owning my personal domain... (shame on
me!) I will do it from there in the meantime, so far, after reviewing
the logs and analytics reports.... do you know how many people used
IE6? NONE... I know my own mini-personal site is not reference for
this... I STILL have IE6 on my machine to test sites... and IE7 on
another... but its enough... I'm fed up with this...

Supporting IE6 is like supporting 800x600... its exactly the same...
how many NEW sites support 800x600? mmm.... about 1-3%??? How many of
you guys still build sites for 800x600??? [I know some still do it in
their personal sites, but really... do you still do it for the sites
you build for your clients?]

Maybe we cannot change the world, but we certainly can give it a small
push in the right direction...
