I concur. I don't know any developers who still support those browsers. You
can't even download either of them anymore. Same goes for IE on the Mac.

All of the big companies I've consulted for support the same browsers:

- Firefox 2 and 3 for Mac and PC
- IE 6 and 7 for PC
- Safari 2 and 3 for Mac and PC
- Chrome for PC

Like all developers, I go to bed at night praying that IE 6 will become
extinct and I won't have to spend half my time trying to make things look
right on that crappy browser. But as long as there are illegal copies of
Windows XP floating around, I'm afraid we're stuck with it.
