aDesigner - was Re: Bobby - a bad tool

I won't comment on the other tools, but I do need to let you all know 
about a new kind of a tool from IBM alphaWorks called aDesigner.  It does 
things no other tools do.  It simulates barriers experienced by people who 
have disabilities so that Web designers can ensure that their pages are 
accessible and usable.

It is available for evaluation from 
http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/adesigner

Besides the IBM alphaWorks forum discussions, Jim Thatcher has posted the 
only other opinion about it that I know of.

btw, although Jim says: "It's free", please read the alphaWorks license 
which let's you evaluate it, not deploy it into production.
