In reality you are going very hard for anyone to convince any company or 
corporation to spend the money to upgrade from NN4x. If your argument is 
the browsers poor css implementation you are wasting your time. To the 
corporate executive  you're talking a foreign language, they will never 
understand a reason based on web site design. Why should they when their 
web site works?  What browser would you recommend when they ask what 
package is as good as Communicator? There isn’t a browser package like 
communicator aimed at companies and corporations in today’s browser market.

If you want these companies to upgrade the solution is simple. Don’t 
design for NN4 and don’t accept jobs where it is required.  If you do 
accept these jobs, then quit moaning and groaning about how bad NN4 is 
when you are just as responsible as the users of NN4. They don’t want to 
spend the money to upgrade and we are too greedy to quit designing for 
it. Vicious little circle, isn’t it.
