So probably better to send to a sales person.

"I can not reach your website b/c the technical people have set up the web
site in such a way, that's it's too: 'high tech' for my browser, kind of
like requiring me to buy a new tv before I see your tv commercial. As a
computer expert, I know that this isn't too hard to make the site so it
looks good, and that all people can view the site w/ a browser. Usually,
sites that only show up on some people's computers are the results of
someone being extra lazy. That's probably a good thing, for your
compeditor b/c I'm going to give them my $22,000. Good day and better luck
next time."
