[blindlaw] Request for laptop during essay section denied

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

The feature for Firefox Web Visum is very confusing to use as instructions 
are not defined in a concise readily available manner. I have used the 
feature at times and it has not always bween satisfactory. I have pretty 
much given up on it. Some times it worked, some times it didn't and it 
wasn't all that user friendly for occasional use.
