want to see a site that really doesn't want our business?

try www.homedepot.com.
They have a message that tells you the want you to have the best experience
possible so please upgrade to netscape 4.0 or microsoft internet explorer 4.0 or
higher of either of these or follow your browsers instructions for enabling
javascript. then there's a button that says continue but if you don't have
something it likes you don't get to continue. You just get the same link with
the same message. It's not that they want you to have the best experience with
certain tools; they don't want you to have "any" experience unless you have
those tools. of course, they also say they hope to see you often at
homedepot.com, but they've eliminated that possibility. Not even a link for
questions, complaints, etc.
I've seen lots of sites where you are told to use certain browsers or enable
JavaScript, but you can still at least partially navigate quite a few of these
sites. this one doesn't even give you the oportunity to try it.

Rule number 1:
A web site which recommend you to use a browser that works better, is a bad
designed site.
There are a lot of bad designed sites, so why bother?
