Since you brought up the idea of libraries I thought this info might be relevant.
One problem that I've run across (w/ my local libraries) is the interface they use for online access to their catalogs. Both library systems (King County and Seattle Public) use Java , and I've never been able to get them to display properly (100%) in any Linux browser.

Hi, David: If I were you, I would forward this email to them, pronto: "You are using a browser that is not Java-enabled. " That's what I get when I use a text-based browser, lynx. What that means to me, is, that anyone who relies on text-to-voice for using the Internet to access the public library, is - - -well, what a shame. Also, I encourage you to copy this to your mayor, city council, and any news media in the community, not to mention the local organizations that work with the disabled. Remember, these are federally funded entities. Thanks, Tom Poe Reno, NV http://www.studioforrecording.org/ http://www.ibiblio.org/studioforrecording/ http://renotahoe.pm.org/
