I received this spam today: > <http://www.deafplanet.com/> > > Greetings, > > Thank you for your interest in deafplanet.com. The project has recently > launched at the 14th Congress of the World Federation of the Deaf in > Montreal, and www.deafplanet.com <http://www.deafplanet.com/> is now > live to the world. > [...] > If you have any questions about deafplanet.com, don't hesitate to > contact us at contact@deafplanet.com. The site will not even load in Mozilla, Safari, IE 5.2 on Macintosh or in Lynx. In every case, the programmers have decided that I don't have the current Flash plug-in (in the three relevant cases, I do), thus have no right to enter the premises. "You don't have the latest version of Macromedia Flash Player. This web site makes use of MacromediaŽ Flash TM software. You have an old version of Macromedia Flash Player that cannot play the content we've created. Why not download and install the latest version now? It will only take a moment." Or forever, in this case, since I *do* have the latest Flash. (Not the 7.0 beta, admittedly.) Bit of an infinite loop there, I'm afraid. I love Web accessibility for the deaf. By the way, *how* much did this site cost again? <http://news.google.com/news?q=deafplanet> -- Joe Clark | joeclark@joeclark.org Author, _Building Accessible Websites_ <http://joeclark.org/access/> | <http://joeclark.org/book/>
