Accessibility is all about making a website accessible by as many people as possible - a lot of people tend to focus on blind users, as they suffer the majority of problems, but accessibility can benefit everyone: try using the accesskeys listed for a while, and see how much faster and easier the site can be..
Macromedia have an excellent article on why accessibility is important, but there's plenty more on the web if you do want to know more.
AccessKeys
Your browser will allow you to access certain links using a keyboard combination. On Windows and Linux browsers, this is usually alt and the access key. On Mac browsers it is ctrl and the access key. When using Internet Explorer press alt and the access key followed by return to activate the selected link.
