Yeah, that's really true. 3% can be a lot if you are working for a big
company.
And what's about systems like IRIX where there is no netscape 6 yet and the
new versions of mozilla are really slow?

Suppose that your boss doesn't know much of programming, he's not going to
accept that excuse. I've experienced it. On the other hand, a lot of users
are
going to think that that's your mistake and not a browser's error.
