One finding surprised me in this respect. When first accessing a new,  
unfamiliar home page, more proficient screen reader users are more  
likely to read through it and use links less often than less  
proficient screen reader users. I would have thought it would be the  
other way round, on the basis that reading through the home page is  
not very advanced compared with going straight for a good link.
