I'm writing to inform you of a possible error on your site.

As I am a user of the GNU/Linux operating system, you would no doubt be aware that it's text based browsers are quite capable of accessing most sites. aside from a few javascript issues, the browser in question "Lynx" has no trouble accessing most sites.
however, upon visiting your site, I find my browser is presented with a page telling me I'm unable to accept cookies which in my humble oppinion is an outright lie.

Were I not accepting cookies, I'd not be able to brows to sites e.g. google alltheweb and various others I frequent..

I put it to you that the checking for browser types on your site is seriously lacking and could be easily fooled with a simple change in the user agent string from my browser.

As I am a totally blind computer user and use the computer with the aid of screen review software, I find the inaccessability of this site offensive, and possibly in breach of the ada (antidiscrimination act).

I await your responsse in this matter.

Regards

Shaun Oliver

Hi:

Wow, I was just wrestling with that site myself.  I had to resort to using
internet exploder.   Not that that helped - if I browsed to a category of
the catalogue, I couldn't find where the products were listed.  So much for
that.  Sounds like cookies are the least of their problems.

Geoff.

Hi.

Sounds like somebody's lumping cookies in with javascript, I've seen this 
scurralous lie elsewhere before and looking at the source reveals loads of 
lovely javascript.

Cheers.
