thanks for the speakup and sonar ideas.

Hi their.  No, varification utilizing graphic immages is not at all 
accessible.  Actually, now that you point it out, the services that 
utilize this mechanism actually made it a lot more complicated.  Similar 
systems exist, but instead of using graphic images, they simply will send 
the user e-mail as part or as a complete verification sollution.  This is 
a lot better, as it doesn't require the use of pixelated immages, and is 
also accessible.  Speaking of which, what can we do as blind persons to 
change this behavior?  Because if this contiues, I can see a serious 
problem in uu being able to access crucial information.  If any of you 
have suggestions on waht we can do, post them to the list.  B/c I'm 
certainly interested in what can be done.  Yahoo! is not the only company 
which seems to do this.  Paypal does this, but at least they provide an 
audio interface to the numbers or characters which are to be entered in 
such boxes.  Industry-wide though, their should be a solution.  Ok guys, 
I'm done and I'm off my loap box right now.  Its just that it frustrates 
me a lot.
