“Remember back in late 2002 or early 2003 when all the hot web designers were pushing table-less designs that only used CSS and they came up with all these crazy workarounds to do simple things like a three-column layouts, and all the hip sites started to look the same, you know, floating CSS boxes all over the place, and then Microsoft said they were canceling Internet Explorer for Mac, and that there wouldn’t be anymore stand-alone browsers for Windows and that they may never fully support all those web-standards and that PNGs would never work, ever, and then everyone started to realize that all the old web tricks using tables for layout still worked, and worked everywhere, and were faster to build and easier to maintain and the only real web standards were whatever worked in Explorer?”

“Yeah.”

“That was crazy.”
