In particular for explaining to people how important it is to design the
site so it looks the same no matter what browser the end user has.

Very useful for poaching new clients who have existing sites that, at
best look mediocre in IE, but totally suck in FF. They dont really care
until you back it up with evidence that they are loosing one in ten
customers because their site looks like complete crap in FF.

You would be suprised of how many 'professional' web designers don't
even check their pages through FF, or even validate come to mention it.
Oh, and yes, I am being sarcastic.
