Fast reply, methinks they have many complaints >===== Original Message From Order Enquiries <Order.Enquiries@xxxxxxxxxxx> ===== Dear Mr Weaver, Thank you for your e-mail and we apologise for the delay in response. I have looked into your query, the Argos website is currently compatible using the most widely used browsers, such as Netscape and Internet Explorer. We regularly monitor browser usage trends and development work is continuing to ensure that the Argos website is accessible to as many people as possible, using a multitude of browsers. In the meantime, may I take this opportunity to apologise for any inconvenience caused to you. May I also inform you that we are due to launch a new site within the next few weeks which will be compatible with a wider range of browsers. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Should you require further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us at order.enquiries@xxxxxxxxxxx, alternatively to speak to an agent please call 0870 600 8784. Regards, Lynsey Greatbatch. Argos Direct Customer Services. -----Original Message----- From: Paul Weaver [mailto:P.J.Weaver@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 07 May 2003 20:10 To: order.enquiries2@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Argos.co.uk with Mozilla As a linux user, I dont use Internet Explorer. If you want to discriminate against at least 5% of your potential customers, or rather, reduce your sales by at least 5%, then that's your problem. I find it hillarious, however, that if I change my User Agent string to pretend I use Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP, many features on the site work fine, and I found the item I wanted - a Ferguson T70171RI 28in NICAM TV, £229.99, Cat.No. 537/4016, very quickly. Perhaps you would care to halt your crusade against a growing proportion of Linux, Mac, and Windows users that prefer the flexibility of Mozilla? I fail to understand why you cant cope with using existing standards to make your site available to all your customers, including customers covered by the various accessability laws in force in the UK. -- Paul Weaver ********************************************************************** Click here to visit the Argos home page http://www.argos.co.uk The information contained in this message or any of its attachments may be privileged and confidential, and is intended exclusively for the addressee.
