[blindlaw] LSAC Reader Settlement

Mon Mar 16 09:50:03 UTC 2009

Everett,
I have found that the Webvisum plug in almost never works. Apparently there
is a form of captia that it is not compatible with and that is the form that
seems to be universally used on the internet.
Take care,
John

Good morning,

Have you tried to use the Firefox Webvisum plugin for solving the bank  
CAPTCHA?
