    PNG took forever to reach baseline usability. Obviously because of IE. I don’t remember exactly, but if you targeted IE you couldn’t use a lot of CSS features and PNG support was shaky at best. I think transparency in PNG just didn’t work.

      We only had internet explorer in school. I think I didn’t even switch to old school Mozilla at home until after I finished sixth form in 2002, or maybe towards the end of my school days. PNG with transparency definitely worked on IE when I was making fansites on tripod or I wouldn’t have used it. I have a feeling I don’t have my old Line Wars site files anymore, but I’ll check next time I’m on the PC. I might have left them on floppy disks.
