I can plug my fridge into any outlet in North America, and should be as free with my cell phone. 

Thx, Albert

My three part-time jobs all use the same inaccessible training software, and one of the tests I took through Prometric appears to have been the same suite. A lawsuit like this one would force that company to come up with an accessible solution--to name just one example. another example is a type of software used in the translation industry. To get staff positions and move up through an agency, translators must be able to use this type of software. With one exception, a new company whose developers are working with a group of blind interpreters and translators, this type of software is inaccessible, offering screen reader access only to the most basic features. the current solution of having large screen reader developers and other consultants sell overpriced scripting services only adds to the problem.
