yes, i remember that, too, but i'm still confused. i thought the beauty of
using style sheets was supposed to be that users could override them with
their own defaults, anyhow. so, even if i specify, say, a 14px font,
couldn't someone with a visual deficit just set their browser to override
stylesheets? would that mean they lose everything, though, like color and
margins? is that why it's best to use relative font sizes?
thanks,
