Chris,
Can you give me some examples of the array of websites that are
accessible? Honestly you are either naive or blissfully ignorant or
oblivious to the unique position that us blind consumers interact on
the web. I've seen the complete opposite even on sites that were
accessible that they are not as much or not nearly entirely. The sites
that claim it are in jest or depricating at best like Google's
services with Google Books or countless others.
I just get annoyed with people that don't spend hours and hours on
the web talking with veterns programmers and other blind people about
one particular website when they the webmasters don't make it
accessible. I can give you an example of Dark Grimoir's forums are not
accessible at all. I can give you tons and tons of others and on
software that are in the millions not out of the box. Unlike you that
I don't need to pretend that GWMIcro needs to work much more to
improve our working standards. A final note is that I've talked to
people from Oxford University some of which agree tht the free market
surely cannot satisify our demands for future jobs.
sad,
Peter
