Hey, as far as I'm concerned, any site that isn't at least *decipherable* with the most bare-bones text-based browser *is* fucked up. Intentionally designing informational sites that require you to use one particular piece of software to access them completely misses the point of putting an informational site up on the web in the first place . . . -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo)
