The steps that we take NOW, the fights we fight and the battles we win at the EARLY stages of the game, will mean EVERYTHING to future accessibility for everyone. That is why it's so vitally important to get the word out NOW, and make our presence heard, because otherwise those "without" (without the latest tech, without a big budget for hardware, without the ability to see, without a fast connection) will be left behind, possibly forever.

I'm just venting some more.) -- Kynn Bartlett <kynn@idyllmtn.com> http://www.idyllmtn.com/~kynn/ Chief Technologist & Co-Owner, Idyll Mountain Internet; Fullerton, California Enroll now for web accessibility with HTML 4.0! http://www.hwg.org/classes/ The voice of the future? http://www.hwg.org/opcenter/w3c/voicebrowsers.html
