If you want to get around the Google noise and get better access to the site, use this link that was developed by a blind guy especially for people who use screen readers. labs.google.com/accessible/ Gail In a message dated 5/21/2010 11:41:08 A.M. Mountain Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Hi Mike and all, Google is celebrating Pacman's 30th anniversary today. To mark the celebration they decided to play this Pacman tune in the background. Apparently it's louder than screen reader speech, or so I've been told. I could not get the sound to play with Firefox. Found this out on another list. Hope this answers your question Mike and others. Many thanks.
