A registered (not quite) blind person, I know, had great difficulty with
locked-down sites with no text size change option.

No one had told him about highlighting with CTL-A, then CTL-C and then CTL-V
into a basic text handler , notepad/wordpad or whatever , where he could
easily increase text size and more importantly use a negative script.

Negative script == white on black. I don't understand why this
is the case but this does seem to be easier for folks with
*low* vision to read.

Every now and then a poorly-sighted browser praises my gimmic-free pages on
the www , just text and pics

For years, I used a text only browser to surf the web.
Even now I disable images -- since most are just advertisements.
Why waste bandwidth on something that benefits an advertiser?
If I *need* to look at an image, I'll *know* which one(s)
I'll need to see.
