But does it look professional if we put up a page somewhere saying: you

the habit of writing "this website is made for 800x600" at the bottom of
the
page. Both looks like a cheap excuse.
I would say: forget about old browsers like Netscape 4.7, but don't try
to
write any excuses about it. The client's don't care about our excuses
anyway: either they can see the site or they can't.
Frankly, I have basically forgotten about NS4 as well as IE5 Mac. What
they see is what they get. I'm sure they are used to it. That should be a
clue in and of itself to update.
As far as putting up a page saying "you can't see our page because your
browsers are old" is far different than the 800x600 thing. "This website
is made for 800x600" basically means 'I made my site wrong'. The former
means 'You are looking at a modern, standards-compliant and correctly
constructed Website using outdated software'.
