That's silly.  IE is a malfunctioning twit on Macintosh OS X, isn't
so great on older versions of the mac os, and isn't available at all
for linux and bsd fans.  I'd recommend giving a site a once-over using
Mozilla, and if it looks good on Mozilla AND IE, then saying it's
done.  If it looks good on Mozilla it's going to look
good on a lot of browsers on a lot of platforms.  But if it's
horribly broken for Mozilla and requires IE, then you're certainly
shutting out linux and bsd users as well as the majority of mac
users who have given up on IE for Mac just as Microsoft has.

That said, the site runs great on Mozilla / Firefox.  Nicely done.
