Of course, some of us need to earn a living creating sites that will
work on the browsers of as many people as possible. That means catering
to the lowest common denominator: Internet Exploder. Unless Microsoft
has fixed this in IE7, IE does not support transparent or alphablended
PNG files without jumping through various different hoops according to
the version of IE under consideration, most of which involve DirectX.
That pretty much rules out PNG for any site expecting more than 3
users, *obliging* the developer to use GIF. Grrrrrrr.....
