I heartily disagree, Bill.

I think all web ``designers'' should target their web site to the likely
capabilities of their desired market.

If their target market is people likely to access the internet via
dialup modems, then sure, you've got it right.

We used to develop our web site in vi, with no tables or frames, such
that Mosaic users could read it. Our target market was users likely
to have Mosaic as their primary browser, i.e. old SCO systems.

The world has progressed on both fronts.
