Notice to Non-Internet Explorer users:
This website incorporates features available only by using Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 5.0 or later,
hence, it has been disabled for virtually all browsers except Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Due to the inability of many browsers to render our code as intended, we regret
that we will no longer attempt to service requests from browsers other than Internet Explorer.
We don't know what the problem is, and we don't care, but it is most likely that we make no attempts to conform to "standards"
imposed by some self-ordained "consortium" of web-developers attempting to force us to abide by their criteria.
We are not about to rewrite reliable code, that has been in use for many years, just because "someone" says we have to.
Please don't take it personal...
Our websites work just fine on MSIE, and we are perfectly happy with that.
With MSIE, it's so easy...even a caveman can do it!
Microsoft Internet Explorer can be downloaded for free from the links below...
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 for Windows XP
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 for older versions of Windows
Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2.3 for Mac
Unfortunately, Microsoft has discontinued development of Internet Explorer for Mac and Unix operating systems.

Just by reading this it seems that they've caught a lot of flack about it. Especially who ever this "self ordained consortium of web developers" are. I mean they must be real jackasses to suggest that your site which makes you money, I'm assuming, should be accessible by every person that uses the web.
If I were to re-write the message in my typical cynically humorous way (which is funny to me) it'd be a little like this.
Hey, you jerks that don't use Internet Explorer 5.0 or later!!
We put this site together to run perfectly on IE 5.0 or later. If you don't use that then go away.
The coding that we use for our site doesn't work with any browser except Internet Explorer. We don't care that you don't like IE or that you have the choice to use any browser you want. We're just tired of sticking to the same rule that our web site should be accessible to everyone. You know what? Use IE or don't bother us. We don't think we should have to update this site and it's coding just so you can surf at your own pleasure.
Quit bitchin about it. We're not telling you to not come here. We're just telling you what browser to use.
With MSIE even a total idiot that bashes things with rocks could use this site. Well, unless that person uses some browser other than IE.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.2.3 for Mac
Oh yea... Microsoft quit making updates and stuff for Internet Explorer for Mac and Unix based operating systems. If you have one of those your gonna have to get a new pc or something to see our site. With all the regular IE updates you'll probably get a virus or something if your IE is a few updates behind.

So there's the first change. I'll have to keep an eye on the site and see what changes next. It's kind of interesting to me just to see what happens. Will they cave in and finally fix the coding so everyone can see the site? Will they leave it the way it is so they start losing business?
I think they'll change it. After all, a lot of musicians use Mac products and IE isn't available for Macs anymore. At least an up to date version of IE that is. And who really wants to run a browser that carries important private information that's over a year or more old?
