Dear Webmaster for Ataclick.com, Your site: http://beta.ataclick.com/eligibility.htm
erroneously warns that you must have IE5.5 or better (after you click on the "Yes, I meet the requirements" button). Well, I'm running Mozilla version 1.2 which is a darn site better than IE 5.5. As I couldn't argue this point very effectively with my monitor screen, I simply popped up a second browser - Konqueror 3.1 (also much "better" than IE5.5). ASIDE: Konqueror has a feature you can toggle that allows it to fool any website into thinking it *is* Internet Explorer 5.5. Well that worked just fine (as I'm sure Mozilla would have - had you allowed it a chance to continue). My point here, is that you are three to four years behind the times. Wake up and smell the Open Source Revolution! There are plenty of browsers in the world that do everything IE5.5 does and more. In fact most of them are far and away superior to any current version of Internet Explorer (I know that's a somewhat subjective statement, but I'm willing to back it up with some head-to-head comparison of capabilities and features). Pull your head out of the "Microsoft Uber Alles" dirt and take in a glimpse of sunshine... remove this offensive road-block to using other browsers than IE from your websites. By The Way: I have nothing against using a statement like, "This site works best when viewed with IE5.5 or better." As I said, I'm using something better!
