Re: Oddpost
I don't have any problem with them doing something that only works in IE on Windows. I wish they had worked it out so it was cross-platform, but something just aren't possible using non-IE browsers. I read Doc's post, and his response differently. I think he was criticizing putting up a page that completely blocks anyone from getting any information about Oddpost unless you have IE on Windows. He said: "Or that they can't put up another page (other than their home page, through which their mail service apparently runs) to explain what's going on to the minority of folks out there using browsers and OSes they don't support? That's what I don't get. " They could have put up a description of what they are doing, noted the fact that it only works on Windows, and if they were really nice, maybe a few screenshots. If the images were interesting enough, people might go out of their way to look at it on Windows machine to see what they've done. If they are programmers looking for work as has been stated, then it makes sense to provide some sort of a nugget for non-IE users. Their next client/employer could be using Netscape. Just to be clear, Doc isn't saying (as far as I can tell) that what pisses him off is that they shouldn't have developed it for Windows only. Instead, what pisses him off is that they didn't take the time to provide some information for people who visit the site on a non-windows platform. There are responses to this message:
