Accessibility is an increasing rather than decreasing problem in all aspects
of computer products the way I see it.  I was watching some episodes of TV
programs on cbs.com and both times IE stopped working, but instead of
picking up where it left off or offering me the option to start the program
over or pick it up where it left off it began the program from the
beginning.  So IE has its faults or cbs.com does.

I don't do much CW, but I understand your concerns.  There should be an at
sign for CW on the keyboard.

Hi Harvey!

I believe you're right. Far as I can see, accessibility diminished after XP,
and reductions have been continuous since.

CW has also been neglected in this progression. We've had an at sign in the
code now for over ten years, but the on line keyboard still is silent when I
press the at sign. Characters that are just as obscure play, so it would be
easier to promote something that is clearly keeping pace with the time.
