Probably one of the biggest differences out there. I'd say this is my
first item to be considered if you want to make an accessible website.
The biggest "disability" in the world has to be less than perfect
eye-sight, right? How many people do you know who wear glasses?
That's not to mention people who have large monitors -- you know, those
folks with large amounts of income who are very web savvy and probably
more likely than anyone else to buy stuff online? (i.e. these aren't
folks you want to lock out).
If you use pixels, anyone who uses IE (which includes some 20 million
AOL/Windows users) will not be able to resize your text.
What problems are you having?
