Can you all make a web site that works with all of that old tech & new tech ?

HTML is HTML. The days of the blink tag are (thankfully) dead. 

Only three browsers are needed to aim for: FF, IE, Safari. Here's why...

• Safari and Chrome both use Webkit, so if it renders well on one, it'll 99% likely render well on the other.

• The deays of 'OMG lookit all those version numbers!' is dying and/or dead. Only IE is still sticking with the discreet version upgrade paradigm these days. Everyone else gets latest/greatest version automatically unless they specifically choose (and set the system) not to.

• mobile sites should be designed differently and parked on (ferinstance) m.renderosity.com - mobile formats are smaller, require bigger buttons (for the touchscreen) and need to account for both landscape and portrait modes. So yeah, by necessity the UX is gonna be different.

• Nobody uses Opera anymore - screw 'em.

Blecch. I'd rather masturbate with a fistful of broken glass than willingly use Windows 8.
