[jQuery] Re: ANNOUNCE: black'n'white 1.0

That's a fairly amusing, but ultimately worthless plugin to write.
 
IE isn't going away, it's still the dominant browser, and will be for years
to come.
 
While IE6 is showing it's age (it IS over 6 years old after all), IE7 is
quite good, and is very similar in rendering to FF or Safari.
 
I understand that hating Internet Explorer is sort of de riguer for many web
developers, but I feel that the hate simply makes you look unprofessional.
Professionals work with what they've got and make the best of it.

This plugin is a tribute to the Firefox Download Day 2008.

This plugin helps people moving away from Internet Explorer turning
the colors of your website to a grayscaled version (using a property
of Explorer itself!).

It was written from an idea of Andy Clarke and with suggest of Simone Parato

I understand your point but my plugin shouldn't be taken too
seriously.
It's something between a joke, a quick hack and a funny tribute to
this Firefox day... and, by the way, customers pay me everyday to
write workaround for IE so I think they won't find me less
professional for this little plugin. :)

Fair enough, a joke's a joke. There are better ways to get people to switch
browsers than making the page function, or look differently, just because
the user has IE.

Do you have a demo of this plugin in action? The only thing you've got on
your site (which looks very nice by the way) is a link to download the
plugin.
