Re: [Blind-Computing] SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES
Attention all list members! Social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace etc,seem to have grown in popularity amongst blind people. That in itself is not a problem, but when invitations to join such sites come to the lists on the jaws-users.com domain, it becomes a problem. Not too long ago, one of the members of the management team sent such an invitation, and he was promptly removed from the team. Now, the same individual has included these lists to recieve invitations, and as a result of that has been banned from the lists at this domain. If people wish to engage in these sites, that is fine, but do not,bring them to the lists. Members that do so, will be removed without question or further discussion. Richard Q.

Re: [Blind-Computing] fat 32 or NTFS
Hi. thanks much for that info. I have reformatted that drive and will probably do it with another that I have but first I need to move the stuff off it temporarily. - Original Message - From: "Mike & Barbara" To: Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 8:58 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] fat 32 or NTFS Hi Dan, Yes it is possible to reformat a FAT32 format to a NTFS format. The steps are below along with a website link for future reference. If you plan to download files to your flash drive that are larger than 4gb, you need to reformat it to NTFS, instructions for which can be found on the site below. However, if your files are smaller than 4gb, you can leave it in the default FAT32 format. By the way, I have found no articles that suggest that reformatting a modern flash drive creates damaging stress on its memory components. In fact, I recently reformatted my new 8gb flash drive to NTFS so that I could back up my Documents and Settings folder (which is larger than 4gb) using the Windows XP Backup utility, and have had no problems. http://www.ntfs.com/quest22.htm Gerald Q: How do I format a USB Flash Drive to NTFS file system? A: To enable NTFS on your USB Flash Drive drive (USB Flash Memory): 1. Right click My Computer and select Manage. 2. Open the Device Manager and find your USB drive under the Disk Drives heading. 3. Right click the drive and select Properties. 4. Choose Policies tab and select the "Optimize for performance" option. 5. Click OK. 6. Open My Computer. 7. Select Format on the flash drive. 8. Press Alt + F for the file menu and choose NTFS in the File System dropdown box. 9. Device Formatting is completed. Important: To remove a device safely without data loss use a "safely remove hardware" procedure or Eject function from Windows Explorer. http://www.ntfs.com/quest22.htm Gerald Hope this info provided by Gerald helps.
