> "It's time we moved beyond technical accessibility when discussing how to
> improve the Web for users with disabilities. We should consider these users as
> users: As people who have jobs to perform and goals to accomplish when they
> use Web sites and intranets."
> -Jakob Nielsen, guru of Web page usability
