Yes.  This kind of reminds me of HTML authors that refuse to be
Lynx-friendly.  What is so hard about including ALT="something
descriptive" so that I see "something descriptive" instead of
"[IMAGE]" or "[LINK]" ?  It reminds me of ServiceTech's first homepage
redesign.  Without X/Mosaic/Netscape, it was virtually useless for the
first week (?) until they changed it.
