Crash test dummy perks: training by accident

RantWoman wishes to report VERY positively on a recent crash test dummy experience. RantWoman highly esteened the people running the test for:

--ASKING RantWoman what all she does and listening to god-awful minutia about

   --Screen reader vs Screen enlarger

   --Magnification and screen real estate
   
  --Reading foreing languages, when the screen autodetects the language and what happens when it does not.

   --RantWoman's preference as far as NOT moving hands to use the mouse

  --Assorted other points that cause many in RantWoman's eyes to have that eyes glazed over problem.

--TEACHING RantWoman a number of things she did not know about default expectations for certain products and forms of User Interface (UI)

--Being in general well worth the commute across a certain body of water especially on a sunny Friday in the springtime.


If was the usual crash test dummy experience where things crashed. Things crashed but the test team was so affirming. RantWoman really is not the most sophisticated user of her accessibility tools ever to lay fingers to keyboard but the test team was very good about helping figure out wheh the problem was probably the  software and not just RantWoman!
