Sorry Peg, these old eyes don't read Adobe Connect any better than they
do PDF files. I am set to display in plain text, White on Black, about
200%.

I would like to know what Adobe has done, is doing, about accessibility
and had hopes, but the need to show off the products (and how clever we
are?) seems to get in the way.

When I got started looking at legibility (now being called
accessibility) Dr Colenbrander said my biggest problem would be that
people with good eyes don't know how people with poor eyes see. This
seems to be the problem at Adobe. Add age to the mix and it gets worse.

I have no magic solution. The best I can offer is to encourage instant
feedback, direct from the offending page to the designer (vs. through a
company website (generally designed to discourage feedback).

Sorry to be a bother. ===gm==
