Yes, it is also worth noting that a 'happy by product' of serving the needs of PwD is that we reduce barriers for many, many other users who don't have disabilities. _However_ the very act of explicitly designing for extremes ensures that the product/service/website etc will work for users of AT _and_ these other groups. Hence the focus on PwD is important IMO. Cheers JoshReceived on Saturday, 10 March 2012 12:18:50 GMT
