[Athen] Referral needed for website testing

[Stacy L. Smith]

Nathan -

If you still want to try JAWS on your website, they have a .pdf you can
download with all of the commands in tables, for people like me who are
hopelessly incompetent with JAWS ;)  It also has a quickstart guide.

You might look in to WindowEyes, too.  Generally there are free trial
downloads, so it isn't necessary to buy the whole thing :)
