Re: Accidental Example of Usability and Cognition.. (Was: 2.1.1 keyboard - clarification)

Glad you mentioned it, as this raises even another issue for me. I am VI (registered blind with residual vision) and have ADHD. To be frank, I found the article impossible to read from the ADHD perspective and had to have it read to me in a bizarre tutorial fashion wherein I asked questions as we went along.

So, I did have reservations about posting the link, as although I will be delirious when the Internet is wholly inclusive, I figured that not posting it would be denying those who could access it the opportunity to do so.....
