I've found Firefox pretty crappy; especially in its ability to cope with the worst of the IE only pages but Opera can deal with most. Whilst not wanting to get into a browser spat I agree with the view that if a commercial organisation limits their audience by being browser specific then that's their loss but a lot of the information stuff I miss is /my/ loss. I also think it's less of the "cutesy bullshit" and more of the "it's easier" to take an IE only line. -- Simon
