I just hate a "requirement" for a site to "be accessible" based on
something as unneeded as Java and any other "whiz bang!" effects.
Whatever happened to consideration of text-only or simple (X)HTML
optioned Web sites? What I mean is what happened to Web sites which
were written to offer a choice?

As it was:

Upper management & Web dev:

"Would you like HTML, text-only or Java with your Web experience
today?"

User:

"I'd like text-only, please. Oh, and hold the frames if you will?"

Upper management & Web dev:

"No problem. Here you are. And thank you for coming by!"


As it is:

Upper management & Web dev:

"You must have Java and cookies enabled to use our site. Oh, and we
*strongly* recommend the use of InternutExploder web browser for
our, erm your, best experience".

User:

"But all I want is to see if your site has what I'm seeking.
Besides, I don't like InternutExploder because it's buggy and
unsecured".

Upper management & Web dev:

"THEN GO AWAY!!" (mumbling to himself, "Crummy users, who do they
think they are?")
