Angeleyes,

Blind people do surf. I was a tech support flunky at an ISP for a while and we had a couple of blind customers. It was absolute hell trying to talk them through internet setup on the phone, but they can do it. They have programs that read whatever text the mouse hovers over and other stuff to help them navigate. My understanding is that if the html is not written to certain standards it hampers the operation of some programs.

Here's a link: http://karn.ohiolink.edu/philosophy/..._friendly.html

I suppose it would be more accurate to say the blind don't surf for porn.
