The home page of Fido's web site is now FULLY image based, instead of being
text based, and if you turn off image loading on your wab browser, trhere are
no alt tags for you to click on.

So, Fido is in effect making is more expensive to use WAP by forcing you to
download absolutely useless images for the front page, when those images
provide absolutely no additional information over ascii text (the images are
mostly just bitmapped representation of the original text).

Couldn't believe that Fido could stoop so low with such a stupid move.

I'll have to parse their wap site and build my own.
