How about going to a shelter and helping someone without computer access? That is the point of what we are talking about. It would be faster for local volunteers to set up kiosks than it will be to wait for the feds or Bell South to do it. I might help a "guinea pigs" myself tomorrow. It would be easy to take someone to Charlie's Coffee and try to fill out the forms for them using different browsers. If all else fails, there's a public terminal with Winblows in the back. If that fails, my point is made, most people are going to have to call in. I've got a red cross volunteer in my house, I'll ask him about this tomorrow. He's crashed out now from ten days of 14 hour days. > If it were any other situation that were not critical I'd be all for > trying to get IE6 working on wine. If the application were not important, I would not mind a crappy IE only website. There are still a few of them in places where incompetence rules. Most people would never consider something that turns away 3 in 10 potential customers. The problem is that every government website is important and this one is more important than average.
