I can't even see the Web page that tells me whether they even have
an opening like that. Will somebody please post a summary list of
jobs available at Target and Toys {backR} Us?

Hey, like the TV show "Las Vegas"!! I'd get bored watching just one
security monitor, or even several if nothing was happening for long
periods of time, but if I had interesting stuff to watch, like they
do on the TV show, and if I could simply press a button (or call
over to somebody in the same room) to alert additional staff
whenever I saw something suspicious on one of the monitors
(different button for each monitor), I think I could do the job.
But I can't even see the Web page that tells me whether they even
have an opening like that. Will somebody please post a summary list
of jobs available at Target and Toys {backR} Us, or at least tell
me if there are any jobs that don't require personal ownership of a
brand-new computer at home that has direct InterNet access (PPP or
DSL or WiFi etc.) with JavaScript and images both working and
usable?

For individuals, indeed even people who are disabled themselves can
sometimes overlook somebody else's disability if it's "different".
A "heads up" would be appropriate in such cases, and it usually
suffices to correct the non-understanding person.
But for large companies that have many employees, surely they have
at least one employee with each major kind of disability (unless
they flagrantly discriminate against some/all disabilities), hence
they could easily call in their various disabled employees to test
their Web site for accessibility (and quickly fix anything that
isn't universally accessible before they leave the inaccessible
site online even a couple days), IMO. <thisIsFunny>In fact testing
their Web pages and physical stores etc. for various kinds of
accessibility would seem to be a part-time job for which disabled
people would be especially qualified!<thisIsFunny> There's just no
excuse for big companies such as Target or Toys {backR} Us to have
lynx-inaccessible Web sites. Maybe I should send a FAX to both
those local stores informing them that their job-openings Web site
is lynx-inaccessible and offering to work for them part-time at the
legal minimum wage to test their Web pages for lynx accessibility
and suggesting changes to the people who are in charge of
maintaining them.

Toys R US 130 E El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA 94087
I can't find Toys {backR} Us's FAX number online.
Looking in telephone directory, I see voice number is 408-732-0331,
and searching Google for that I see:
<http://www.looboo.com/list/US/CA/Sunnyvale/localinks>
which verifies the voice# but still doesn't have FAX#.
I have only one phone line, so I'll need to call them and ask their
FAX number sometime I'm not online.
