Charles F. Munat: In my experience, "realistic" is an industry code word for "requires little effort and costs us nothing." Jim Thatcher: Not True in fact or in my experience or when I use the term. Absolutely not true. Previously Jim Thatcher: "Like you said, we all share the dream of an accessible web. ... Charles F. Munat: I beg to differ. Who is this "we" who share the dream of an accessible web? Jim: I thought it would mean people on this list. Charles F. Munat: What corporations "dream of" are sites that are accessible without any effort or expense Jim: That would be nice. Charles F. Munat: incomprehensibly abstract to Mr. Thatcher, Jim: Dr. Thatcher to you Charles. Charles F. Munat (amongst over ranting): If the members of this list believe that passage of 508 solved anything, they are sadly mistaken. Jim: I certainly don't think 508 solves anything. But it sure is on course to bring about solutions, to bring about substantial change. Jim jim@jimthatcher.com Accessibility Consulting http://jimthatcher.com 512-306-0931
