Search Engine With Option for Low Vision Users

I just read about a new search engine developed by a young woman to help her grandfather. The site, www.good50.com has an option to click below the search field that changes the contrast to white on black, and enlarges the text you type in the search field. Want to get directly to the low vision version? Try this link: http://www.good50.com/index2.html
Incidentally, I got the lead to this resource from Steve Bass; he ran the Pasadena IBM User's Group for many years, wrote for PC World magazine, and now has a wonderful online newletter called TechBite. He always has some great tips, mostly for Windows users, and some fun waste-of-time links. You can subscribe to his free online newsletter by going to
www.techbite.com
Incidentally, the story behind the creation of the low vision search engine is from
The Washington Post Online
