Hi

I'm finding this thread very interesting.  I have to admit, I find
navigating the www easier under the Windows platform.  I've got a project
about to be launched that involves Speakup and such issues are very
relevant.  As html offers a number of techniques to answer multiple choice
questions I'd appreciate constructive feedback.  Currently, there's a
question that is similar to the following "Where do you use Linux?" there
are about 6 choices offered, each of which have a check box.  I've used a
simple <INPUT CHECKBOX> tag for these questions and wondered if this was the
best way in dealing with such multiple choice questions?

One aspect I like about lynx is taht one can bash through frames more
easily than in netscum and WindBlows Exploder!
