I agree on the 2 different pages.   I use Netscape 3.04 despite the fact that 
i'm on an AMD K6-233 MMX with 64 meg of ram.  If someone's JUST looking for 
info... they're likely to go for the "stripped" version of the web page, i do 
that alot anyway, even though i've got tons of plugins (bleh).  If they want 
to be impressed by the company then they'll go for the "enhanced" version of 
the page.  if he's comfortable with it, then he might want to have the page 
auto detect the browser.
