A legally blind internet user was asked to review the site
using "Window Eyes" screen reading software, and reported no difficulties
with the site. All alt tags seem to be in place, and giving thier cues.

Funtionality of the site overall is good under the various conditions
tested. One feature does not work reliably. The "print" button
on the html form fails in IExplore on a Macintosh (developer is aware),
but the added instructions to print from the file menu, or use command
keys works without fail. This is a minor issue that does not need to be
changed given the easy work around.
T-1 load speeds were reported slower than speeds on a 33.6 modem, but
this may well be due to the bog down on a crowded network, and correction
for this can not be made on end.
The site appears to have been designed with smaller monitors, older browsers,
and slower modems in mind which increases its funtionality with newer/faster
equipment. The site can be viewed without difficulty by the widest range
of viewers.
