Does anyone have any reliable stats on how many people are left out (as a
percentage) due to platform issues, due to using obsolete browsers (perhaps
for perfectly legitimate reasons) and due to running with restrictions
turned on?
Where I am going with this is that I am wondering exactly who is being
marginalized by use of JavaScript??? (and I have been in the "has to work
with IE and NS 3.0" camp for a while now but am thinking of giving up.

have an alternate page too, of course.
Not sure where to FUT but probably doesn't belong here if this thread goes
in this direction
