That reminds me...
Something I've been wondering for awhile - how many users are on what kind of machines?
My thinking is that you optimize your website for the majority of users on the most popular machine.
For example, if I wanted to add video to a blog post. Will it be veiwable by the majority of visitors?
I know that most video doesn't work for me. I'm on an older machine though. Do most people run out and buy the very latest machines and software after every new revision?? Or do they hang on to their machines for a long time, like I have?
Anything you can find out about this would be terrific!
Thanks for the great info,
