When I asked a client about being able to view specific areas

of his website on a Mac OS. His reply was "I don't care if it works on the

Macintosh Platform". I didn't argue with him. apparently his targetmarket is

windows users only.


So if a site doesn't work on all platforms, it doesn't necessarily mean that

poor

planning was the reason.


I'm building a site that needs to be on NT sp5    IE5.0   1024 x 768

it will not work on anything else.
