Hi, Actually, some of the usability people I know are pretty amazed at how poorly designed the usability of the access technology is designed. The decisions made often cannot be excused by the technology being built on top of what is already been badly designed. The mistakes were more lkely to have been made because the access technology programmers (like most programmers) are unaware of usability principles and techniques. (Many people outside of the usability world don't have the experience to see how that happened.)
