Ummm... I don't disagree. We could all be back in a windows world
without any internet when it was just so amazing that anyone anywhere
using any computer could communicate with each other. I will never
forget using my 386 computer connecting through Delphi and connecting
to a computer in Brazil (in a telnet like session ... I think it was
gopher).
No, really, I don't disagree. There are target audiences. But I
think that a lot of people just dont' realize what they are doing.
They don't realize that they are alienating people. And really, for
what? I see frames used more often because people dont' want to
think about a navigation system. They use images .... um ... because
they couldn't come up with the thousand words or they just think
images are cool.
I think that just too many people who don't use the internet, who
don't understand the internet, yet, are still deciding what should be
done on their internet sites. I never ask people who don't use the
internet what they think of my websites. I would never ask someone
who doesn't read what they think of Elmore Leonard.

Might is not Right. But there is a lot of Might knocking
about in this world, and something has to be done about it.
