I haven't used Windows in the past year or so.  I use Mozilla web
browser and have browsed, shopped and completed an on-line college
course with it.

A local school district website used to respond to anything other than
IE with a page that more or less said "Go away".  When I first
complained they asked what I was selling.  A couple more emails
convinced them that I was not selling anything and that their site could
and should be open to other browsers.

Within a few days the site was accessible to Netscape and Mozilla.

Do your vendors value your business?  I hope when you run into IE-only
sites you let them know this is not acceptable.

Good luck,
