Why bring friendship into this? What does this have to do with anything?

Never suggested to optimize html for IE.

I don't need directions on how to make a PS file.

You are missing my point. I am not concerned with us printing the flyer. I
am attempting to make it possible for the organizations I am contacting to
SEE the flyer, and print it out. This is the reason for the printable web
page flyer, and the pdf. OK, no pdf. But lets make a simple html page that
can be printed from ANY browser, that will print out to something like a
flyer. Organizations may want to do this for their membership. I may be
able to reach more organizations with flyer that THEY can print, not one that
I'll print. They may also want to print the flyer to take with them to a
meeting to discuss it, or to take with them to the demo...
Does that OTHER browser open a PS file without user intervention? Forget it.
I'm not going to beat myself senseless over this. Maybe someone else can
understand what I'm talking about?

To hell with these stupid people. If they insist on using that OTHER browser
or plugin, they can't come to my demo...why should I sell open source to them
if they dare to use that OTHER browser or plugin. They can't see or print
out the page, it's THEIR fault...
