why did Target even challenge this? how much could it have cost to simply 'do the right thing' rather than be judged, fined and now besmirched as the clear 'losers' who were only thinking of corporate profits over INCREASING corporate profits? seriously, think of how much positive news agreeing to the lawsuit would have generated. think of the increased sales from the blind AROUND THE COUNTRY. would the cost of one-time implementation of such software TRULY outweigh the combined costs of: fighting this in court with teams of corporate (read $500 per hour each plus expenses), having to pay the penalties they now owe both the blind who filed AND the state of California, and still having to now by court order fix www.Target.com to be in compliance? sheer, unmitigated arrogance on Target's part. a foolish, costly decision. well-deserved, i hope every dime makes Tar-Jay suffer as much as the handicapped who had to go through such a painful lawsuit. justice in this case was served, and Target? you got SERVED, baby. choke on THAT chinese made import! ;)
