Re: Static IPs

["Ray Saldana III" <raysaldana@theriver.com>]

Carl, one other question, will you share your address with me? I just want
to check it out for curiosity.
    Another question for everyone, I don't use alt tags in my web pages. I
lay the graphics in so if you are using a screen reader you never know they
are there. Do you feel this is a mistake? I myself am always after the text,
and since I am unable to see the pictures, just prefer they lay in and I am
unaware of them. This was my reasoning as I can use the text that is what I
am after, and so prefer the pictures to be left to the sighted community. I
would appreciate others feelings on this.
    I also use Java-applets, but lay them in so a non sighted person never
knows they are there. In other words no interferences with the sharing of
information. Do you guys feel this is a mistake?
    Animations I use and again lay them in the coding so they don't
interfere, sometimes this is not an easy task, but can be accomplished with
some effort. Thanks again!
