Hi Barry and Aidan Dare I say the full report is a bit bare too :-) . (Since you asked Barry) I don't feel that this report is fully representative of the full spectrum of computer access equipment. Doing such user trials on every possible type of computer access device on the market may be too daunting a task to get statistically significant results but this report completely miss out on some fairly common(ish) types of assistive technologies e.g. Joysticks and Switch accessible keyboards (onscreen and otherwise). Maybe I've missed something in the first read. I'll go back and read it again.
