It always amuses me the problems IE has with PNGs. Back in 1997 Acorn
had their browser "Browse" (yes, good name huh?) which was the first
browser that was 100% compatible and support every feature in the
specification at that time.

Strange how being a world first is almost guarenteed to ruin you. Acorn
were champions at it. BeOS wern't bad at it either...
