[blindlaw] Yahoo accessibility issue

Daniel,

I am sorry if below is confusing, but here is the situation?
In my case, client was indicted for 5th dwi as third or more using dwi 1 & 2
to make it a felony; 2 enhancements were alleged to try to make it habitual,
but the enhancements used were dwi's 3 & 4.  My client pled open to a jury
and true to one of the enahancements; the second enhancement could not be
used because he was arrested on it before the other became final.  However,
he had 2 other pen trips for agg assault that could have been used, but were
not alleged.  He made a deal with state I'lll plead open to the jury if you
don't reindict or amend indictment to make it a big bitch.  I am on the
appeal.  One of my potential arguments which hasn't been decided by
Amarillo, but has by other appellate courts is that DWI 1 & 2 should not be
able to be used to enhance the current offense if they were also used to
enhance dwi's 3 & 4 which are now being used as punishment enhancements.
Thus my question is if I would prevail on this point which is unlikely,
would he back doing a new punishment hearing with the enhancements as they
were in the indictment or would it go back for a new trial in which case the
State can go for the big bitch.  I read the statute sent and it appears they
couldn't do if on a new punishment hearing only, but if I am in a new trial
position they could.  What remedy do you think the appeallate court would
choose?
Thanks!

Valerie:

My experience with Yahoo Mail is so bad that I never use it.  I utilize
Microsoft Outlook 2010, previously Microsoft Outlook.

I attempted to utilize Yahoo Mail numerous times over a period of ten years.
Navigating Yahoo Mail is so damned user unfriendly for JAWS that I just gave
up.

The NFB recently learned that a number of Yahoo Mail users have experienced
difficulty accessing e-mail features with screen readers.  The NFB is
committed to addressing these barriers and would like to provide Yahoo's
technical support staff with a detailed list of currently inaccessible
features.

If you have experienced difficulty accessing Yahoo Mail with a screen
reader, please contact me at vyingling at nfb.org<mailto:vyingling at nfb.org>.

Hi everyone,

I noticed today that Yahoo has forced everyone to use their new version and
is disallowing yahoo classic.  The new version just isn't compatible with
JAWS 13 (don't know about 14.)  Is anyone having the sime accessibility
issues as I am? I propose we flood yahoo with complaints from the blind and
get them to either make the new version compliant with JAWS or allow us to
switch back to classic (my personal preference.)

Mike
