Dear one-browser Web designers: Don't say I didn't warn you

In my 2002 book, The Online Rules of Successful Companies, I said it was
stupid to design Web sites that would work correctly only with the most
popular Web browser. Yes, I told readers, over 90% of all Internet users
today may use Microsoft's Internet Explorer (MSIE), but not long ago 90%
of all Internet users ran Netscape. Web designers and site owners who
made Netscape-only sites had to scramble madly to redo their work when
MSIE started getting popular. "Learn from this!" I said.
