haha I want that too!!!

Can you imagine the amount of coding it would take to render specific prices to people on specific browsers? Man I cannot even fathom that, but that would be awesome!

I know a few using IE7 and 8, but not older than that. But they deserve paying for the extra work of developing sites that work in their archaic browsers.

There should be a law prohibiting the use of IE5 and IE6 :/

As long as designers accommodate their designs for those antiquated browsers people will keep using them. If designers simply stopped designing compatible designs for those browsers people would not be able to view websites properly and would have no choice but to update their browser.

If I am not mistaken even Microsoft does not support those browsers any longer.

They just picked up some free advertising. All you have to do is when you get a visit from a old browser give them a message "browser out of date" You can tell how many old browser visits you get just by looking at your site stats.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
