Ya know, I've heard that many times. And I am definitely an anti-fixed-
width/pro-fluid website fan. However, the though occurs to me it isn't
really a valid argument. What about people who see poorly and want to read
a book? Sure, they can buy a large-text version (if and when it's
available, which is hardly always) or acquired an aural edition, but
neither of these comes packaged with the normal, everyday version.
While I agree that fixed-width sites should be avoided (both meanings),
sight impairment has less to do with it than site impairment.
