Hi Carolyn,
I'll give this tip a shot "browser preferences and under appearance
turn off "display images"
This might make life more simple!
Merry CHRISTmas to you also!

Hi Everyone:
I learned about some things today that for me were new and
interesting. For some this may be old stuff. But, I consider the
following things pretty interesting. This is regarding my one to
one training today.
1. We looked at the website I had issues with. What it has is a
lot of immages, and some text that is sort of in the background. We
looked at it with Lynx, and certainly it made more sense. However,
given that it involves terminal commands, my trainer suggested I not
use Lynx until I'm a little mre seasoned, and I am completely in
agreement with this. So, next, as an experiment, she went into
browser preferences and under appearance she turned off "display
images when page opens." Well, not too cool for a sighted user.
But, all of a sudden those text items in the background read very
well. We also went to another difficult website, (my local grocery
is at Kingsoopers.com). It too worked much more cleanly. Of
course, the down side is a sighted person would be pretty unhappy
with the screen as it is. So, good to know how to turn images back
on when you're done.:)
2. I have a cd that for whatever reason imports very quiet in
iTunes. Sound check didn't render any improvement. So, there are
two places where one can make adjustments of which I was unaware.
In preferences, weinteracted with the toolbar, chose playback,
checked the box for "soundcheck", and also oosted playback volume.
When that didn't make the desired change, we went to "get info",
(command I), and to options. There another volume slider was
available for the cd. Boosting that slider, the cd plays at the
same level as other stuff now.
Perhaps old stuff for some of us. But, these might be helpful to
someone else so thought I'd share.
Thanks for reading.
Now I have to figure out or remember how to turn on images again.:)
All part of the learning process.
Take care everyone, and I'll be the first out on the limb to wish
everyone a very Merry Christmas, if you are celebrating.
