Earle Harrison: Assistive technology and accessible web design
September 12th, 2005 | by Tim Wilson |My guest for this edition of the Savvy Technologist Podcast is Earle Harrison. Earle is an assistive technology consultant and owner of Triumph Technology, a source for adaptive technology and adaptive media solutions. We talk about universal design, assistive technology, and accessible Web design. I learned a lot during my conversation with Earle, and I think you will too.
Earle mentioned many different hardware and software products during our conversation. I’ve included a list of as many of them as I could find. If you’re using iTunes 5 or the new iPod nano, then you’ll be able to read this message and the product list in the lyrics section of the ID3 info.

Help! I’m a 68 year old Grandma and don’t know a lot of what I’m doing on the PC, but trying to use the Sonar program with my best friend…Having trouble figuring out how to record an LP from a turn table. Does anyone have any “simple” steps to guide me. Thanks, Mary Ellen
