[nfbcs] JAWS and IE8 with Google Search

[Mike Freeman]

Best way to support an antiquated browser is to eschew fancy eye-candy and
glitter and use simple text and pure HTML!

Mike,

	There are other reasons not necessarily related to being appealing
to customers that a company might change their web page, including trying to
figure out the best way to continue to support what is becoming considered
an antiquated browser.

One thing we all must bear in mind is that Google's pages (yes, even their
home page) are not immutable. Google is constantly tinkering with them to
increase eye-appeal and/or achieve some other commercially or socially
desirable end, in part to be helpful to what it (Google) perceives as its
user public and in part to experiment with measures which might increase
it's (Google's) bottom line. That may be great for most of the public but
it's frustrating as Hades for the blind.

So if something doesn't work on a particular day, wait a day or too and the
problem may well clear up as it did for Tracy. On the other hand, there
could really be a long-term coding trend that gives us fits, in which case,
we should complain (for all the good -- or not -- it does us).

I just went to Google and looked something up, and it worked OK, time-wise. 
So whatever was happening with me seems to have cleared up.
