[ale] OT - Entry Level Job Opening

[Christopher R. Curzio]

Indeed. I was ready to apply for the position myself. 

I went to the website, and it actually started to render in Mozilla just
fine. Then it redirected to the NO_IE.html page, and I couldn't do
anything. Yuck.

One has to wonder how devoted to UNIX they really are, and if that will
last. I'm guessing they need it for legacy apps. (For a company to deny
browsers other than IE from seeing its website, a complete migration to
Microsoft-based systems probably isn't that far fetched. In that event,
our poor UNIX admin would be out of luck.)

Isn't the point of a company web presence the idea that you want to make
your company seen by as many eyes as possible? Methinks being
browser-specific defeats that.
