[gui-talk] Fwd: WebAim is conducting a screen reader survey

Tue Dec 23 01:48:47 UTC 2008

Hi,

I could not get out of that site without losing it. I sent them an 
email with an ironic touch because of their subject matater. When I 
got through, I still had to close out completely. I absolutely could 
not back up. This strikes me as an accessibility issue all by irtself 
(smile). So I did not finish or submit the survey because, flat out, 
I couldn't.

Thanks.

Evelyn
