On the issue of accessibility to web pages, has anyone ever used "Bobby" to check out their websites? 

 One of my basic adult ed students brought this fascinating piece of software to my attention some time ago.  She swears by it for her own web sites as she develops them.   "Bobby" is a Web-based tool that analyzes Web pages for their accessibility to people with disabilities. Developed under the auspices of the Center for Applied Special Technology, it is offered as a free public service in order to further its mission to expand opportunities for people with disabilities through the innovative uses of computer technology.  It appears to address a range of issues from cognitive to physical disability.
