Blind users were noticed as example of users who dont need graphics... .. both graphical and text version of Arachne homepage are relatively well readable by Lynx. Text only version of course looks better, but information is the same. I am afraid, that blind users will anyway learn, that Arachne is useless for them... but in fact, Arachne-optimized handwritten HTML has much better chance to be compatible with their text mode Lynx browsers, than HTML created by FrontPage and optimized for MSIE. This is the point of Arachnes existence: we want to prevent Microsoft from defining what is considered to be valid HTML and what isnt. Blind users are just one of many minorities, which can be disqualified if Microsoft gains full control over HTML content. To succesfuly resist Microsoft, we have to be compatible with their distorted standards (unfortunately), but the simple fact, that huge user base of certain application may decide to refuse new Microsofts extension to HTML, and accept rather non-Microsoft extensions, can help a lot. -- http://arachne.cz/ (Arachne WWW browser for DOS+Linux / Webhosting / MP3streaming)
