Seniors made up 15 percent of the online population in 2000, the report said, compared to 22 percent last year. Until the next release of Fx, you can still use the FoxyVoice extension which acts as a speech reader. You can also find out more about the Mozilla Accessibility Project < Message edited by caz -- 8/16/2005 13:15:14 > _____________________________ Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will dance, or more on your keyboard.

Can anyone remember back to when homosexuality was seen as a threat, those people were discriminated against terribly, probably still are, but it took a very long time for the business world to wake up to the fact that gay couples usually had two incomes and no children, wow what potential disposable income they must have? I think it was Toyota who first realized this in Australia and began marketing their products to this potential goldfield. To the disgust of many, their television commercials even showed a gay couple instead of the nuclear family. Don�t really know how that ended up, but I don�t hear too much about Mazda and Nissan these days. It may be a slightly different scenario, but in every threat / problem there is opportunity, and those that grab it will always continue to thrive. Congratulations to IBM!

I haven't seem much from IBM lately, looks like they might be taking the spotlight again! _____________________________ Arizona Web Design - Mr Bobs Web Design in Arizona The Arizona Web Hosting Challenge (in reply to Nicole)
