Internet explorer shortcut

Alt + D selects the text in the address bar.
So to go to a website without having to find the address bar:

• press Alt + D
• type in the website address
• press enter

An alternative to Alt + D, is F4, which in addition to selecting the text in the address bar, also displays the drop down list of previous addresses.

Visit to Manchester Gallery 26.5.05

We had a very enjoyable visit to the Gallery with Mary, Ann giving her usual audio description and a Curator telling us about the painter and painting. One of the greatest benefits afforded tot eh public at Manchester Gallery is the fact that they provide very light weight folding stools which you carry around with you. This is a great boon for people like me who find it difficult to stand in one place for any length of time. We will have to ask Gallery Oldham if they can provide the same service for our next visit to Oldham. Mary's next event is a visit to the Science and Industry Museum on Thursday and I will let you know how that trip pans out.
Regards to all, Elaine

More accessible websites

Due to circumstances beyond my control, I came across another website which is a guide to accessible websites. It's called net-guide, and like A-sites, it allows you to either search or browse. The websites listed are given an accessibility rating, which goes from poor to excellent. It's reassuring to note that it rates itself as being excellent.
