Subject: www.guidedogs.com  not accessible via Windows
Hello listers,
Last night I went to the Guide Dogs for the Blind Web Site at
http://www.guidedogs.com, and much to my surprise found that I could not
access the hyper links with either Netscape Navigator or Internet
Explorer.  I would very strongly urge all Guide Dogs GRaduates to contact
GDB, and let them know on no uncertain terms that this kind ofdesign is
unacceptible; expecially when it comes from an agency for the blind.  One
wonders if the company hosting this web site was given a lesson in making
ttheir web pages accessible for the blind.  Why did Guide Dogs not demand
that this be done?  This situation needs to be remedied if we areto be
able to access the material on this site in Windows.  Again, I want to
urge GDB Graduates to contact both Guide Dogs for the Blind, and members
of the GDB Gracuate Counsel to see to it  that the GDB Site is redesigned
to permit Windows access by the blind.
Peter Donahue
