This does not make the problem go away, but you might be able to do what you need to by using

http://m.target.com

which I assume is intended for mobile devices.  It came up slowly for me but seemed to work although I 
didn't do much in that site.

Best regards,

following error message:

>What the heck is going on here?  What do they mean that my browser is not supported?  I'm running XP 
Pro with IE 8, so since when is this browser not supported?  IE 8 is the latest version of Internet 
Explorer that can run under XP, which, the last time I checked will continue to be supported by 
Microsoft through at least 2014.  And don't even get me started with Firefox.  What is the meaning of 
this?  Will the NFB have to go after Target yet again?  Or is there some other explanation for this 
message?  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
