Re: Browser Usage Percentages

http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/index.htm

is a good place to start (I'm reasonably certain I received the link from

Also, since this is a state department/web site -- you might want to check 
the archives -- Dennis Lapcewich just had a great post about ADA and web 
accessibility on the basics list.

Could be what you need to convince state officials that they /might/ want 
to look into stuff like compliance, accessibility, etc. . .
