Please Don't drop old browser support! Yeah the browsers are free, but the OS's and the hardware to run them are not. A LOT of users have older machines with old browser versions on them for whatever reasons.

Yeah it is a pain in the ass, but if you want these people to visit your websites then you have to accomodate them, and suggesting they upgrade their browsers - and quite possibly the OS and H/W - will have them going elsewhere.

FWIW,

Don't worry we will always try our very best to support version 4 or above.

Cheers

Since IE and NS are free and upgrades are free please consider whether there is a demand for NS4, IE4, IE5. In my case, I try to encourage users to upgrade to the latest browsers for security reasons and because programming for the new browsers is easier (more features and bug fixes).

God bless you!
