It may be, but that doesn't help. Netscape is often the only browser |
| 7 |
available on many machines (think RedHat 6.2 and people that don't |
| 8 |
build their own software), and is even more often the only browser |
| 9 |
worth using (not everybody has an Athlon 1000). |

I feel his argument is valid. I just checked the website with |
| 12 |
Navigator 4.08 and, while it seems fine to me, it is borderline |
| 13 |
too wide. |

Whether or not this is enough to necessitate changing the website |
| 16 |
is not up to me to decide. |

Just because it's not broken doesn't mean we can't take it apart. |
