[nfbcs] Safari Books

[Ryan stevens]

Hello, Lloyd,

I went up to the Accessibility page of Safari and  was able to set the page
display to the accessible version.  It's still up there.  Thank you for your
help.

   Ryan

O'reilly made a change to Safari a few weeks ago.  Some blind programmers
protested to them, and at that time they provided a link to more accessible
material.  They didn't promise that they would keep this link going.  I
didn't keep the relevant e-mails, which were on the
   program-l at freelists.org
listserv.  The contact information may be in the archives of that listserv.
