[ILUG] Worst Irish website competition

[ILUG] Worst Irish website competition

Here's one for you. I was interested in HP's nx5000 linux laptops - so I went 
to the site to take a look
http://h71016.www7.hp.com/dstore/html/3d_showcase/notebooks.asp?oi=E9CED&BEID=19701&SBLID=
Not one of the nx5000 interactive showcases work in Firefox or Konqueror.

I mailed the webmaster complaining that it wasn't irefox friendly. They 
basically said that their 'engineers' looked into it and they reccomend I use 
Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater.

I mailed them back repeating that I was running solely linux and had no 
intention of changing just because they were behind the times. I also pointed 
out the irony that a linux product cant be evaluated (and hence purchased) 
from a linux workstation.

Surely that's embarrassing for the webmaster?
