interesting questionl... personally, i get more pissed off that i can't
there via adobe.com and have to use www.adobe.com... both those
facts make it hurt to listen to them talk about the web sometimes...

i still don't agree that you have to do a text-only version...
the whole point i've been championing all along is that if you build it
right, you don't need a text version... the regular version is
accessible and degrades well enough that it's not necessary...
personally, i won't build two versions of a site if i don't have to... it's
a waste of the client's money...
