Actually, it was the Sydney Olympics that got me into accessibility. At the time, there was a story posted on Slashdot about how IBM wanted some exhorbitant amount of money to go back and add ALT tags. (it got a LOT of press at the time, from what I remember). So I read the stories & started asking questions... and well, couple years later, here I am, annoying you all with my questions! Best, Denise -----Original Message----- From: Michael R.
