Hmm... I wonder if there'd be any way that you could force them into
buying something like Crossover Office for all their non-Windows/IE
using constituency? :-) Afterall, the web page is a public service, paid
for with tax money, and as such, it needs to be accesible to all. As it
stands, could this be counted as a violation of anti-discrimination
laws? Currently, this (the CrossOver option) is the cheapest way to
enable users to see their page, short of shelling $100 for Windows and
another $80 for a hard drive (hey, why not? The wouldn't be able to tell
you you're wrong...). Of course, then there's the price of MS Office...
At least there should be a "you don't have to pay the MicroSoft tax"
rebate for AlternativeOS users...
I'm tired and probably rambling. It's times like these that make me want
to waste some bandwidth :-)
