Fair enough, but bear in mind that there are lots of people who access
the Web using text-only terminals, or black-and-white terminals, or who
have odd screen sizes (upright A4 is quite common for Macs), or
connections that are too slow for them to bother downloading images,
or...
I think that the majority of your effort in preparing a Web page should
go into the text, which is the common denominator across all clients.
