Sorry, not true. I can do anything that can be done with tables for layout
as well or better in CSS, and I can provide you with a CSS layout that you
wouldn't be able to do with tables. Up for the challenge? Give me the url
to a site of your choice using a table layout, I'll knock you up a replica
using CSS with no layout tables, then we'll try the reverse, I'll give you
an url to a CSS page of my choice and you try and reproduce it using tables
and presentational markup.
