[TriLUG] quickbooks vs sql-ledger TANGENT 2cents

[Jim Wright]

Are you differentiating between IE 5 and IE 6 in the logs.?..I note that
the checker kicks out anything below IE 6... on a couple of sites I
manage which have a fairly good cross section of users, we are still
seeing about 20-25% of IE at the 5.x level.  Pretty amazing considering
the security holes, but I think there are a lot of people at home and in
small business who installed Win98 and have never upgraded the browser.

we haven't always had the requirements checker in place.  Besides, in 
order to get disallowed, you still have to access the site, which 
creates about 5 or 6 log entries alone.  AWstats logs the OS.
