What about Netscape 3.0? On my notebook I still use this browser (it is
a 486, it has a slow internet connection and no cd-rom - I do not wnat
to install a different browser). And at university there are lots of
computers with NS <4 running on AIX and Solaris. Why should I exclude
people using the browser they prefer from viewing my site if I can
obviously serve them quite well by this little trick <code><pre>?

In some browsers you can even turn off CSS support.

I understand that you want to write good html code, but you have to
divide between theory (standards) and practice (browsers and there way
to not completly follow the standards).
