	Sure thing! You have a good point to make there. If you are

targeting a specific group out there, why would you need to allow for

netscape users too? It can be a huge hassle to make things work in all

browsers/resolutions... but in this case, Balthaser is supposed to be a web

design company promoting there service, excluding anyone should not be the

case - and in reality, how long would it really take to make an alternate

version with the correct plug-in detectors etc?


	Cheers
