That is not too helpful. Another technique, much used in commercial sites, is to change the text in part of the page each time it is reference. If using new technology, make sure it looks ok even if the browser being used does not understand the new technology. If you put your mouse arrow over the NavBar and have Java enabled, it gives a short description of the item under the arrow. If you do not have Java enabled or don't have Java, the page still works, although you can not get the extra info.
Old browsers are still out there, in large numbers, often for good reasons.
E.g. the computer may not have enough memory to run a newer browser. Also, remember lynx is still in use, both by the visually impaired and by people on slow modem connections. The idea behind TranSend is to replace the router which is between the internet and the modem in the machine room by a computer which does compression on the fly, using data specific compression techniques. For example, graphics such as in gif and jpg files are compressed significantly. This results in a loss of granularity in the image, but much faster response time.
