I'm sure you're correct in that assessment.

I interviewed for a job this week and my "web dev" skills (which I'm not
that full of) were relevant but not a deal breaker.

Anyway, one of the interview panel folks pulled up my primo site on their
Blackberry (or whatever) PDA and said "Cool! Great job for PDAs!" and really
I had done nothing but design with fluid tables and formatted everything I
could with CSS, but I had done zero layout stuff with CSS - it was all
tables.

So what's the real deal on formatting for all these "devices"? I should
check the ALA article I'm sure and I will but I'm looking for the real
truth.
