[JAWSLite] Re: NY Times and jaws 10

Hi G.W. and all: Your mention of Times People clicked with me. I think it 
may be about the time of that introduction that site performance began to 
decline.

I went to the info link about Times People, decided I was not interested, 
then clicked the link that said "not thanks" or "not interested" or 
something like that.

I am interested to see what happens the next couple days. I'll let you know.

Stan

Not long ago, The Times implanted something called "TimesPeople" (Their
mashing of words, not mine.) near the top of the page. I've never
investigated this, thinking it must be for people who like people. Also they
have something called an "intersticial ad," which must be Times talk for
popup ad.

If it seems to be taking too long to load or the links don't come through as
links, try refreshing the page with F5. Navigate with the headings or other
quick keys. When you have a story you wish to read, do a links list and
enter on "print." That will eliminate the extraneous stuff.
