Apologies for the off topic posting but my stepfather is blind and he wants my

saying they
were visually impaired. If I'm remembering correctly, I'd really appreciate it
if that person
would get in touch with me.
This link might help. It's the RNIB page on using technology when blind
or partially sighted. The link to the beginner's guides is where you
should start.

However, as Polytropon said in his mail, there are far too many web
pages with no real accessibility for anyone with less than perfect
faculties, in spite of the fact it's a legal requirement in many
countries. A friend of mine is an accessibility consultant and has
regular rants about this.
