Also, please be aware that today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day<http://www.mysqltalk.com/gaad.html>, when colleagues in accessibility around the world are asking everyone to participate by picking one of these things to do today:  Go Mouseless For An Hour, Surf The Web With A Screen Reader For An Hour, Learn About And Use an OS/Mobile Accessibility Feature, Contribute Directly To The Digital Accessibility Effort, and more at http://www.mysqltalk.com/participate.html
