Patricia,Your correct, butt as a legally blind individual, I do have trouble 
browsing on the regular site. I can't see any pic's that are tossed around 
very well, so the "M" site works best for me as  it gives me all the posts 
and my reply's can be sent quickly and without all the other distractions, 
you know? KH

Actually, as far as I know, most sighted people do not have a problem with
face book once they learn how to use it.  My kids are on it all the time,
and love it.
