Had a nonprofit whose major patron was a WebTV user; meaning they had to make sure their site layout worked on WebTV as a first priority. The version that guy had, no less: he bought an early one and didn't do much else with it.
When the day came that we no longer had to design for IE 3 (or whatever it was) plus the special cases of brain dead the "WebTV" broswer added to that, we were so happy. They hired someone to take over the site design and modernize it to DHTML and CSS. They had an Art degree, but had never seen HTML source or heard of CSS.
so the world goes.
