To be honest - if people can't be bothered to update their browsers on a reasonable timescale (such as once every couple of years) then I don't see why there should be so much effort put into making a website work with browsers that are older than Windows 98!!!!
For us programmers out there, when you make a program you dont necessarily make it backwards compatible operating system wise right back to the dawn of the time or to versions that are very old now such as Windows 95 so why do we bother doing it with web pages?
Of course suppor the latest versions of the browsers and a few versions before but supporting technology that is well over 10 years old is just pointless in my opinion. Even my oldest computer that has never been connected to the Internet has above IE3 on it and that was bought in 1995!!!
