Uh-huh. And what do you do about all those MS Word or Excel documents?
And what do you do about those websites that *require* IE on
*Windows*? Note, not even IE on Mac will do.
Then you deal with them with a comprehensive government program to
convert from Word or Excel to something like HTML or some other "open
standard" format. You don't need to specify the software that will
read it, just the format in which the information comes in.
