[nabs-l] FW: [gui-talk] Google Search Settings Page No LongerAccessible

[Joshua Lester]

I haven't had any problems doing searches.
Navigating other parts of the site, may be a problem.
Even GMail's audio Captcha is inaccessible.
It won't play.
Google has a long way to go, as far as accessibility is concerned.
Blessings, Joshua
