Currently this is not the case - large Web pages rarely fit on small hand-held device screens, let alone phone screens, and most interesting sites are not accessible to people with adaptive technologies because the resources are not well-formed. <http://www.ozewai.org/2006/index.html> Webstock Mini (Wellington) - December 6 -------------------- The Webstock team presents a day of edification and an evening of entertainment for your web-related pleasure and education.
