• Jakob Nielsen’s latest Alertbox mentions how important it is for PDAs to work on all platforms “that are used by any decent percentage of your customers,” otherwise “you are throwing away too many customers.” I wish more web site designers would recognize that not everyone uses Explorer to access the Internet. I usually use Firefox or Netscape, and truly appreciate sites that take the time to ensure they work with those browsers. At the very least, have the courtesy of informing visitors the site will only work with a particular browser.
