Re: [POLL] Use of PNGs

I can answer this pretty simply....

I do NOT use PNG graphics, simply because I use Sitemeter.com for tracking 
nfo on my webpage, and visitors to it. one of the nicer features, it tracks 
things like what browser people use, what type of operating system, what 
things they support.
It also has a very nifty pie chart dedicated to what percentage of my 
visitors can or cannot view PNG images.
As it stands, 27% of my viewers can NOT see them.

I will not start using PNG images untill that percent is down below at LEAST 
10%, if not under 5. I like to make my sites available to everyone.

My 2 cents
