[Ham-Computers] Off Topic Head Cleaning Kit

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi Don,

Thank you very much sir.

A request: Since I am totally blind, and my screen reader that converts the 
text on the CRT to speech, does not always work with various web sites, may 
I ask you to check for the needed item for me?

Even though the ADA, Americans with Disabilities Act, is supposed to make 
information equally available to all Americans, unfortunately, it has NO 
legal penalties for non-compliance. Hence, many ignore the rules set forth 
by the ADA since there is no legal penalty for doing so!

The NFB Inc., National Federation of the Blind, filed litigation against AOL 
for non-compliance and the court ruled against AOL! Yea for the courts and 
the handicapped, but ridiculous litigation was even needed.

Thank you again -
