If you want to hear a really good rant on that topic, check with your nearest
"visually challenged" aka blind user. The web's INITIAL insistence on only
using markup tabs was a godsend for them - their audio "browser-reader" had a chance
to interpret the page as it saw fit to relay it's content to the user . .

and now . . . not a chance . . .

madmac - I'm staring 39 in the face, and finding that it's not so much that I
get confused more often, but that I now lack the tenacious persistence in
finding a solution. Is a readier willingness to say, aw fuck it, a trait
of aging????
