you outdid me.

next year we're ON.

Actually browsers like Opera have a feature to emulate the quirkiness of IE (compatibility mode rather than compliance mode). Honestly though, using Opera I very rarely find pages that don't render properly, and in such rare cases usually can choose to go elsewhere for my information. IE seems to only have that kind of stranglehold on the business world where companies insist on using IE specific technologies, which is their own damn fault but the employees pay for it.
