    Kerist! What's this now, IE-only sites? I'm no particular fan of Opera, but if I can't view a site in any-and-every browser, the site isn't worth visiting.

    Shit, I may as well just sign up for an AOL account as waste my time at sites which some hack threw together with Frontpage, or some blinkered fanboy has tailored specifically for Firefox.
