Netscape 4.6 here, I'm usually using the latest or next to the latest
version of either Netscape or Internet Explorer since I like to try and
keep up to date on them. Guess that's still the main focus these days,
the "big two" browsers; and there's functional differences between the
earlier versions and the later ones so I for one don't want to encounter
troubles at the mainstream web pages. Although not everyone spends there
time doing yet another upgrade of their browsers on a constant basis I'm
sure. Even so I'd think the 4.* versions might be a good target
audience.
Too bad about the Flash, hope you can get some kind of nice compromise
in there.
User input hmmm? Well, if you like tending to a lot of potential chaos,
sure sounds good anyway. Half joking here.
