Blind could benefit from free service that instantly speeds up the Web

Have sight problems and use a speech synthesizer? Live in a place with slow Internet service? Own an underpowered PDA with a poky browser? Or are you just tired of piggyish Web sites that take forever to pop up on your machine? Loband speeds up your Web experience by stripping out wasteful graphics and other trimmings. I tried it on TeleRead's main page and the TeleRead blog. Worked great! And, yes, I know--certain parts of the TeleRead site could load faster.

More on help for the disabled: I've added TeleRead-specific Loband links on a blind- and VI-related page--to make it easier for blind people to use their speech synthesizers with the TeleRead site, which is about e-books and related topics. Thanks to Aidworld for the terrific Loband service. I just hope that the Loband servers are up to the demand.
