Yep!
The tendency of all developer is to say, "It works for me" and then 
throw it over the wall. 'Web developers' are the worst of the bunch in 
my experience.

They also expect you to be running dual SuperMhz processors with 
triple-redundant, Giga-accelerated 3D video cards, and have 512GB of 
RAM, and be running the latest atrocity from Redmond, Washington. Just 
like the system they have. That way you can download their bug-laden 
marketing glitz over your T3 optical line and be truly amazed with the 
quality of their products as demonstrated by all the multi-media images 
dancing across the screen (that is, if it doesn't lock up your entire 
system).

I wish I could say I'm joking.
