Actually that may not be so. IBM have a strong commitment to accessibility for disabled users, many of who have great difficulty "getting another browser". Some of the problems in this site are the same problems that group of users experience (and IBM are producers of a speech output browser themselves, so should have some sympathy) so they may be more interested than you fear. In my experience a large organisation like IBM is prepared to do The Right Thing, but cannot ensure all their employees know everything they need to all the time. Identifying problem areas is often very helpful. After all, Amaya is only one of the standards-compliant browsers which have problems with poorly coded pages.

I guess I'll jsut relegate Amaya to testing my own pages before I put them up.
