I understand your points. To explain more fully, a computer that is used by many people in one house or place may not have the convenience of setting different network log ins for one reason or another so will be presented with the dialog. all members of the family or group but those without the capability of accessing the dialog will have no problems. Again, I want to emphasize that although it has always been possible to configure as you suggest and it is a good approach, it does not come down to the level that many consumers are dealing with. Network admins and savvy pc users such as those many of whom are found here will be able to climb the steps. Others will need a ramp so why not make the dialog accessible? I might after all be a blind sys-admin. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tina Marie Holmboe" <tina@elfi.elfi.org> To: <w3c-wai-ig@w3.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 21, 2001 10:34 AM Subject: Re: netscape 6.1 and mozilla 0.9.3 On Tue, Aug 21, 2001 at 09:13:52AM -0400, David Poehlman wrote: [ Could you quote according to standard, please ?

It seems to me that what you are suggesting, here, is that any built-in method for changing the behaviour of a system falls into the 'special requirement' cathegory ? I would have no difficulty understanding the problem IF the dialog you speak of was a) impossible to get around, and b) always necessary. The profile dialogue of Mozilla is needed only in the event of a multi-user system, and in such a case can be configured to start with the profile matching the user currently logged in. Should the dialogue be useable with JAWS, it still requires the user to select a profile before proceeding. Specifying it directly seems a much more flexible and useable method; as well as leaving the profile handling to the system administrator instead of the user. Could you describe in more detail the problem you see here ? I am quite sure I've not understood it properly. From my point of view it seems that any system you can set up to automatically remove unnecessary bits and pieces of 'fluff' is *more* accessible, not less. It certainly does remove complexity that way. Thankyou. -- - Tina Holmboe
