Lol. Most nine-year-olds no more about computers than their parents. When I
do tech support for someone, I often ask to speak to their child or
grandchild to get the job done quickly and correctly. I don't usually have
to explain things and can just tell them where to click and what to type. If
I can get a twelve-year-old on the phone, I can usually fix things in a
matter of minutes versus an hour with their parents. I'd be willing to bet
money that the kids are having an easier time with the new site than their
teachers are.

Thanks for the suggestion of the find feature of my speech software.
I use the find command all the time with this new site. Luckily I am
getting used to the site so I know what to ask it to find.
I am concerned users of screen readers who are less familiar with
links list or new to the site and so less familiar with what to
search for may have a tricky time. What about all those school
children the site is supposed to support? How well do those young
users know their screen reader software?
