Second the pp license Walt.  Alas,  I will have to settle for reading
the FAS instructor manual I am having recorded for a dyslexic client.
Hmmmm Wonder what accommodations he will use?  




Thank you!

I wrote to their contact e-mail address when I needed to change my
e-mail 
address and they were extremely helpful and very prompt in responding.
If 
you request their assistance without making a huge federal case out of
it, 
they'll almost certainly see that you get registered.

And for those who brought up the audio file possibility, it's now
possible 
for the spammers and other undesirables who want to establish thousands
of 
accounts at these sites to write bots that will even extract the audio 
information, thus undermining the entire reason for the protection in
the 
first place. There are just some things we can't do because we're blind
and 
using one of these authentication things is one of them, so I just
accept 
that and don't lose any sleep over them. I can't get a private pilot's 
license, either, and that would be vastly more important to me, were I
able 
to do it, than signing up at a thousand web sites.

Hello,
I attempted to register on qrz.com but was thwarted by one of those
security code problems.  You're supposed to enter a code shown in a box
on the screen.  Gues I'll have to wait for sighted help.   So much for
accessible web sites <grin>.
