Re: Is embedded audio helping accessibility?

I am sympathetic to Bob's point of view, and so I use PINE and LYNX mostly
too, although I also use graphical browsers and WYSIWYG editors (I hate
reading source code because I get lost in too many characters at the same
time that aren't relevant to me).

It makes well-designed accessible media-rich sites into simple text sites
without distractions, which suits me fine. (If only there were more of them)

cheers
