At the risk of sounding lik an A&&****, your company's developer is a
moron. So far, every application/website I have found or developed that
looks and works well under Firefox, looks and works just as well under
IE. 

The converse is not true. There are numerous things that IE supports,
and bone-headed developers use (or totally moronic managment requires)
that have not been accepted as a web standard primarily for reasons of
open accessability by W3C.

We have an abundance of youth. What we need is a fountain of smart.
