If this discussion can find it's way back to some direct relationship to
Jaws,
then it may continue, otherwise, bring it to an end, now!
It is agreed that everyone experiences frustration with the internet while
using a screen-reader,
but this is not the forum for discussing such a general topic.
Additionally, comments on how the discussion is going, serves no purpose.

With all do respect to people's ability to use there computers, I very
much wish that more of us blind people would have the guts to come out and
own up with regards to our frustrationabout itsreal lack too ease of
access, and not hide our heads in the sand and pretend that everythingis
all wonderful about it. Perhaps if more of us did that, things would
improve drastically.

My computer has made it possible for me to play, work and be a
contributor to society. For that I am thankful, despite all frustrations
encountered along the way.

Hi Alan:
As far as I'm concerned, If I had it to doo all over again, I don't
think that I would have ever bought a computer. Even though I have one
now, I can't in good conscience, say that itis a real joy for me. If
anything, Its becomingvery frustrating, and a real pain in the ass too
use. I really only use it forwriting and sending email, but as for
going on the net, not the way that I would really like too in the way
that sighted people use it for. I don't want too spend hours at a time
every single dayjust too try and master it. Even with all of the
keyboard commandswhich are supposedtoo make its use easier, we'll never
be as fast as someone with vision.

I'm probably going to open up a real can of worms here, but
this goes back
too something that I really think needs to be addressed. I
have always felt
that web designers, developers and programmers don't really
adhere too the
w3c standards for good web design when it comes to the
proper labeling of
graphics for persons that use screen readers. It may pass
the test for the
first time after the web site has been developed, But if
the designers make
changes too the web page over a series of months, then we as
blind computer
users are screwed. Just when the page works sufficiently
for a blind person
too navigate successfully, the page is no longer user
friendly. Just look
at what the frustration that this lady is going through just
too be able too
use the banks web site. It may look more visually appealing
for the sighted
user, but for the blind, or visually impaired person, it
then becomes a real
night mayer.
