Well said, Lazlo ! I entirely agree. The *least* that people could do is to put up 2 versions of their web pages...one with fancy graphics & one with just the plain text. Merry Christmas everyone ! Aca

Well using a patricular 'type' of software really, not a specific 'peice.' That type being a graphic web browser, which in 1996 shouldn't be too difficult to get your hands on. It takes forever to add all those 'alt' tags so people can look at the site with a text browser, and fankly considering how many people still use them that are into IDM (like 3 people probably, hehe) it isn't worth the, at least, couple hours of work testing everything to make sure it works. I would rather spend that time perfecting my tamping technique on my espresso machine... _____ / ,-,_) /,_) (/ RESH Live & Direct from the G-Spot, Orange County, California, USA http://www1.linkonline.net/fresh/fresh.htm
