[nfb-talk] Fwd: Amazon press release ConcerningAccessibilityofWeb Site

[Wm. Ritchhart]

I think the problem Ray describes was caused by the heavy Christmas use.
Even my sighted friends experienced the problems described.  One Friday
evening in December, it literally took five minutes for Amazon to
refresh after each link or button click.

Not so fast.
Over the course of the past few months, I have noticed that the pages of
the 
Amazon site have been opening more and more slowly.  the product pages
are 
particularly bad now.  Indeed, they are so slow, it's almost impossible
now 
to navigate through them.  This pertains to arrowing, first letter 
navigation and the use of hot keys also.  As I say, I have noticed this
over 
the course
of the past little while; ever since I bought my new deep fat fryer.  I
am a fairly well seasoned JAWS user, having used it since the advent of
version 4.2 way back in 2002; when I made my very first purchases at
Amazon
on the date of July 22nd 2002.  I was a mere web novice back in  those
days;
and, I can tell you that if Amazon had been as sluggish back then as it
now
is, I'd have been quite disheartened.  To speak candidly, I fail to see
how
Amazon is improving.  That's why I feel it will be interesting to see
how
the site changes over the course of time between now and June 30th.  if 
Amazon doesn't get on with it and get it
done, I suspect we'll be playing rather rough.

    Sincerely yours,
The Constantly Barefooted,
Ray

Me either. Amazon is one the most accessible sites on the web.
