Default Best fix is not to use a .png 24bit image

Yeah I played around with PNGFIX's but didn't have too much luck. Being stuck on Vista didn't help as I couldn't test IE6 easily.

In the end I opted to avoid PNG with 24bit Alpha transparency and went for standard PNG 8 - BIT I think.

I did some reading and it appears a small percentage of users will crash with a PNG FIX. Given that IE6 holds a large market share in Ireland still. I'd say its probably not the best idea to use a PNG fix if you can avoid it.

Cheers,
Gavin.
