[blparent] Breast Pumps

[Jessica Lucken]

Well, I wouldn't doubt that the accessibility issues are more likely some of
mine.  My computer has been acting very weird with facebook too lately, I
think there is some weird setting I have with jfw or i.e. not sure.  Anyway,
I'm ex ited to try the band.  The reviews say it is not pretty but very very
functional, and that's what I need as I'm getting sick of trying to pump and
not getting both sides centered correctly.  Again, I'll keep you posted.

I've never really had a ton of issues with diapers.com and jfw. it's a bit 
querky, but nothing you can't get used to. the biggest thing is to use your 
graphic and heading navigational commands a lot, and to use your button 
navigational hotkey to add things to your cart. the cart button is always 
above the registry button. the biggest problem I have with it is the fact 
that I can't page back without the stuff erasing itself from my cart, but 
that's a design flaw, and not an accessibility one.
I would definitely recommend getting used to it, as it is an awsome resource

for ordering diapers, wipes, bath supplies, etc. the shipping costs on 
babies r us are ridiculous, and their ship times are very long.
