Is there a strong blind diving community out there?

hi,
one usually sees schools of fish on a dive.  some designers forget that 
the web is the "information" super highway.  i believe that most users 
of the internet are looking for information.  granted graphics can 
present a degree of information, but what good are informational 
graphics if you're blind?  i also think that too many graphics and too 
little content makes a page useless and inaccessible from the stand 
point of providing useful information to a visitor, especially those 
with disabilities.

i think the balance between graphics, or presentation, and content, 
information is well done.  i think the design is clean and very 
professional looking.

you go elle, keep up the good work.  does the design stay together at 
800x600?  i know that a majority of internet users don't view pages at 
this resolution these days, but i know a few people that still do; and 
nothing makes me it the back button quicker than a site that has a 
horizontal scroll bar.

cheers,
dwain
