One victory I just had was with DirectTV:  their programming page, where 
you look up the schedule based on drop down javascript based boxes 
containing the date and time you want to look at, wouldn't work right 
with Mozilla 1.5 and Java 1.4.2.  So I emailed customer service, 
explained the error and the page it was on and requested Mozilla 
support.  Sure enough within a couple of weeks the page was fixed and I 
could used the drop down boxes just fine.  Now there isn't a single part 
of their website that I couldn't use.  I am a happy customer!

I have an idea:  Why don't those who have Comcast cable do some digging 
on nameservers for Comcast and post their current DNS server IP and 
whatever info they can come up with.  We could produce a map of 
Comcast's DNS for those who need it.  I've thought about having Comcast 
as an alternate backup connection but haven't decided to afford it yet.  
I still have Earthlink DSL as the main connection at my home.
