NEW YORK (AP) -- "Links list dialogue." "Links list view." "Your Account -- Two of 164." This is what the Internet sounds like to Chris Danielsen. Danielsen is blind. He's using a software program called Jaws that converts the text on a Web page into a computerized voice that comes out through a speaker, allowing him to surf the Web using keyboard commands instead of a mouse -- the same way lots of blind people use the Internet.
