When someone tells you that, ask for specifics. What characteristics, specifically, would cause more orders to be placed? Unfortunately, they do make a good point; most sighties are extremely shallow. On the other hand, you provide products and services for blind people, so the "visually appealing" factor should certainly not apply... :-) Darrell Shandrow - Shandrow Communications!
