http://www.hookmitchell.com/ - how NOT to use @alt. Enjoy.
http://www.excelcon.com/ - funny, proper alt on logo (should logo have
alt text like this?) and spacer.gif for navigation. Other spacer.gif's
have same alt too, you say
this helps accessibility?

Pretty much any purely decorative image, or image used for layout (in best case
first belong to CSS, second should not exist at all). There may be few
other cases,
but I won't go into this.
