Small point. That two sites are inaccessible and that the sighted as well as the blind have had trouble with them proves nothing about the language in which they were written. I can't really think of a language that absolutely prevents someone from making a disaster of a project, just as I can't think of a car that prevents someone from crashing it due to inattention or inability to drive. Aman Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man. Francis Bacon -----Original Message----- From: blinux-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:blinux-list-admin@redhat.com]On Behalf Of Jude DaShiell Sent: Friday, September 07, 2001 10:56 PM To: blinux-list@redhat.com Subject: RE: The growing accessibility gap: was Ameritech.net There are secured sites at work I have access to which because of problems I ran into with them and because sighted people checked them out with validators have been declared inaccessible. One of those two sites I figured a workaround for another one is so broken it's probably going to be scrapped. Neither was written by my employer but my employer bought both of them from private contractors. Now, as for that site I figured a workaround on one of the more competent computer users at my place of employment who is sighted had so much trouble with that site it took him 2 days to get his work done on it for the first time. For me it only took a week but I got it done.
