[gui-talk] Unabel to Access Target.com

[Steve Jacobson]

As frustrating as this is, it isn't exactly an accessibility issue and probably does not violate 
accessibility agreements.  However, I tend to think there is a web page problem, or they may well have 
to change back because of general problems this may cause people.  Whatever the reason, this is a dirty 
thing to do just before Christmas.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

following error message:

>What the heck is going on here?  What do they mean that my browser is not supported?  I'm running XP 
Pro with IE 8, so since when is this browser not supported?  IE 8 is the latest version of Internet 
Explorer that can run under XP, which, the last time I checked will continue to be supported by 
Microsoft through at least 2014.  And don't even get me started with Firefox.  What is the meaning of 
this?  Will the NFB have to go after Target yet again?  Or is there some other explanation for this 
message?  Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
