[Blind-Computing] Question About Roxio Backup MyPC
Hi Recently I was looking at the "HP 500GB Personal Media Drive". It comes with some thing called Roxio Backup MyPC. Does anyone on the list have experience with this software. If so is it blind friendly? I liked the information on the drive which includes the following. table with 2 columns and 5 rows • 500GB Personal Media Drive • Roxio Backup MyPC™ software (preinstalled) • 6' USB cable • AC power adapter with removable power cord and DC output cable • Warranty guide I am a little concerned if the software would work for me though.
