--a question then. How would a blind person know whatever the link text is actually IS a link? I've never used software for that purpose, is there an audio cue, or does the software just tell you in words like "the following is a link" to "link over", or something like that?

What I usually find is that when the web client reads the link, it reads it out in a blue, underlined, voice.

Quite obvious really, when you come to think about it.

I couldn't stomach the whole article. It doesn't look like an editor went anywhere near it. And what's the deal with his footnotes/references? The 'HT' in HTTP and HTML stands for what again? Is it too much to ask for those references to really go somewhere?

I've been toying with the idea of writing a new open source RTOS based on modern operating system concepts.

Such as RTEMS? [rtems.com]
