And bear in mind that when I started here and pointed out that as a Mac user, half of our
internal systems didn't work properly* - the lead developer told me in no uncertain terms
that it was my fault for not using IE6 on Windows and no they had no intention of
"fixing" anything. My suggestion that this was a rather short sighted approach
fell of deaf ears ... for a while - they've had to change their tune these days !
* For years I had to fire up an XP VM just to do my timesheet. As a parting gift, another
dev just before he left had a look and fixed the one missing or superfluous (can't
remember which) ";" in some javascript that broke this particular system on
anything but Windows/IE6 :-/
Oh man, it sounds the same all over the world. (face palm)
