[stylist] Toot Toot- CLEAR DIRECTIONS for YOU

Mon Jul 1 18:43:05 UTC 2013

no! the difference is you use zoomtext. I haven't tried this amazon exercise 
yet they are doing but it seems that those writing in are jaws and window 
eyes users.  Screen readers cannot recognize images or some unlabeled links. 
That is making it impossible to do what you are describing. Enjoy using 
zoomtext while you can.

I use google chrome, do you think that is what makes a difference so that I
can do everything without any problems?
