No, we're telling you gently that asking for entertainment-related
content
on a web development list is off topic.  This is also not the sort of
list
that welcomes off topic posts without a tip to "pay" for them. 
Particularly
not posts like the one above.  (Read the FAQ.)

If you're asking about technical ways of doing that sort of thing,
fine.  If
you're wondering if anyone here would like to participate in content
generation for your site, you might want to consider making that really
clear -- or posting it as a paid writing position.  If you'd like to
know
how Evolt works, look around at the site.

Now that we've been through that, here's a question for y'all:  I'm
doing a
text-only version of a large site and I'm wondering how text readers
handle
non-standard characters (vertical bars and so on).  Do any of you know
of
any good text-reader simulators?  (Telling me to Lynx it won't help --
I'm
looking specifically for aids for the blind and that sort of thing.)

thanks-
Erin
