I had made the FM help file set net accessible *primarily* with
Al in mind. I see that Scott has further expanded the access to them
via http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/fote/ Have you even looked at them yet,
Al? Have you?!?!?
The implication that Lynx development during the past three years
has not had a "policy commitment" to helping meet needs of the blind is
preposterous. There's no other word for it -- preposterous!!
Burnout, sigh... I need more than a vacation! I need to
NOT_DEFINE myself to an INN. :) :) :) ;(
