The most frugal approach might be to consider a trackball, followed by a full computer drawing table (e.g., http://goo.gl/qlHnlz or equivalent). Depends on the nature of her tremor or shake. Alternatively, get her a gaming mouse and turn the dpi sensitivity all the way up such that any movement is translated into minute screen movements.
There are dedicated hardware vendors, found on rehab sites such as http://www.rehabmart.com/product/adapted-wireless-computer-m... that you might consider browsing. I had a link to a product that seems to have gone out of business - it was an adapter that autoaveraged input coordinates to tone down tremors.
It would be interesting to see the same sort of diagram and discussion in the linked article that includes what happens when end users are using the AdBlock or Hosts block techniques.
It's fairly simple: none of those steps happen, because since the advertiser's scripts and iframes are blocked, they don't even know you've loaded a page with an ad on it.
Based on end-user experience during accessibility testing, I'm pretty sure they do detect the presence of tools such as AdBlock, test to see if certain elements were successfully provided before continuing with a specific set of ads, and also make some assumptions about providing "errors" to end users that only people with something like AdBlock or NoScript _should_ see.
Nonetheless there are websites that give you a notice to say that you have AdBlock enabled, and some even tell you to disable it in order to use the site....
Could be better, as no accessibility for people with disabilities referenced at a technical conformance level: this needs to be a part of the guidelines.
Keyboard access (e.g., http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/access...) should be a part of the overall guidelines, even without annotation to support of accessibility. This should include visual focus, as well as well defined default keyboard shortcuts, where supported by the operating system, window manager, or application conventions.
At a deeper level, concepts of textual representation of the user interface via Name, Role, State, etc. need to be conveyed. Language used in this guide that is heavily visual centric should be considered and revised if it leads end developers to ONLY think of visual situations, or encourages them to ignore accessibility.
I really wonder about the utility of something like this tool. I enjoy and encourage building new things "just because" but I can help but think the point to PDFs is to have complete visual control of layout and formatting while providing the textual and tagging information layers is critical to transform and adapt the information for artificial intelligent agents and people with disabilities that rely upon assistive technologies such as screen readers.
Thank you! Those docs foxed me completely but I did take a look at Amara's main site - an interesting approach. Not a magic bullet but I love the principle of opening up tasks like these to the crowd.
It is certainly not backwards compatibility. Every internal review of Microsoft systems within the government indicates they upgrade whenever possible, even to the detriment of keeping versions that "just work". That is one of the frustrating things about succcesses in deployment of open source: a mindset that still wants to put out the latest version due to features and "coolness" instead of patching and keeping stability that would ultimately save money.
One of the biggest reasons isn't just the licensing and individual system, but the supporting systems and processes: certification and accreditation processes for security, ability to only pay for one year at a time due to legalities of budget constraints, and items such as mandated ediscovery systems that are tied to the OS and systems architecture they are designed for using. It takes a great deal of experience, planning, and foresight to decouple services and make removal and swap out of key pieces open and even possible to change out. Add to that active defaults by vendors that encourages lock-in as well as the failure to draw in expertise that would survive in such an environment, equates to mediocrity in IT.

Finally, keeping all the keyboard shortcuts handy - http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/45 or https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/183101?hl=en might help her.
Best of luck!
