[Blind-Computing] fact or fiction;
Is it true that putting an external drive in the freezer that is thought to have died will allow some or all of its content to be gotten off of it? I think my external has died, or crashed, or something; when I turn it on it tries to spin up to its normal spinning velocity but on the way up, it makes a click sound and begins at the beginning again, never reaching its end speed.

Re: [Blind-Computing] fact or fiction;
It was certainly fiction in my case. I tried it and noticed that as it heated back up to room temp that there was a lot of condensation on the outside and on the inside I presume. It did not work. I never did get around to sending back the defective hard drive since the packing instructions from the company were too complicated. Now, my goal is to be sure that everything is stored in at least two places. I really like the replacement external drive I bought a lot better since it is much smaller in size and does not need to be plugged in to an electric outlet, just into the laptop.

Re: [Blind-Computing] fact or fiction;
Hi Dan, I know of a couple of people who have done what you are asking. The reason for it is to get the harddrive as cold as possible so that it takes longer for it to heat up and crash. The longer the drive can run before overheating the longer you have to extract information from it. Hope my explanation makes sense. Take care.

[Blind-Computing] More About Coby MP3 Player
Well, it turns out that the Coby MP200 MP3 player may be blind accessible after all. I did a little research, and discovered that the Coby MP200 is similar in design to the discontinued Creative Zen Stone that caused such a stir in the blind community when it was first introduced a couple of years ago. Like the Zen Stone, the Coby MP200, which is about the size of a pack of chewing gum, has a concentric ring surrounding a Play-Stop/Power button on its front panel. Pressing and holding it for 5 seconds turns the unit on. Pressing the top of the ring increases the volume, and pressing the bottom of the ring decreases the volume. Pressing the right side of the ring skips to the next track, while pressing and holding it scans rapidly forward through the current track. Pressing the left side of the ring skips to the previous track,, while pressing and holding it scans rapidly backward through the current track. That's it. It has no display screen or navigation menus to deal with, just a LED power indicator. Unlike the Zen Stone, the Coby unit has no shuffle play mode, so you can only listen to tracks in the order they were downloaded, which, presumably, can be easily accomplished using simple Copy and Pate command. With 2gb of memory, it has twice the storage capacity of the Zen Stone, and as an added bonus, it can be used as a flash drive for data storage. It plugs directly into a USB port, but also includes a separate USB cable as well as a set of earbuds. It runs on a single replaceable AAA battery (included) which is said to provide up to 8 hours of playing time, rather than a sealed, nonreplaceable rechargeable battery, which, for me, is a big plus. So I went ahead and ordered one from J&R. For ten bucks with free shipping, how can you go wrong? http://www.jr.com/coby/pe/CBY_MP2002G/?JRSource=chemail.bfweekend.11142009 Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [Blind-Computing] fact or fiction;
If you do try freezing it, make sure it's well sealed first to avoid any moisture condensation, and apart from that, yes, some technical guys might be able to try salvage data off of it, but they're not normally all that cheap/easy to find, so you can try this freezing thing first, but, like others said, try it in short stints as such, and try copy the most important things off first. Just to mention that this sort of spinning up and clicking thing might also just be that while the drive is working alright, it's no longer communicating with the computer properly anymore, and that could be due to a defective cable as such, etc. Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' - Original Message - From: "Dan Mccurley" To: Sent: Sunday, November 22, 2009 9:52 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] fact or fiction; Hi there; Could you tell me what your drive did to let you know that it had crashed; and were you able to save anything off of it.

Re: [Blind-Computing] why is this stupid quick time playing my files?
Would guess that quicktime has taken over the file type association of MP3 files etc. Simplest fix is to find an MP3 file in windows explorer and right click on it, choose open with..., choose program and in that dialogue, choose winamp from list and make sure checkbox for making it default is checked before clicking on Ok.

I did a little research, and discovered that the Coby MP200 is similar in design to the discontinued Creative Zen Stone that caused such a stir in the blind community when it was first introduced a couple of years ago. Like the Zen Stone, the Coby MP200, which is about the size of a pack of chewing gum, has a concentric ring surrounding a Play-Stop/Power button on its front panel. Pressing and holding it for 5 seconds turns the unit on. Pressing the top of the ring increases the volume, and pressing the bottom of the ring decreases the volume. Pressing the right side of the ring skips to the next track, while pressing and holding it scans rapidly forward through the current track. Pressing the left side of the ring skips to the previous track,, while pressing and holding it scans rapidly backward through the current track. That's it. It has no display screen or navigation menus to deal with, just a LED power indicator. Unlike the Zen Stone, the Coby unit has no shuffle play mode, so you can only listen to tracks in the order they were downloaded, which, presumably, can be easily accomplished using simple Copy and Pate command. With 2gb of memory, it has twice the storage capacity of the Zen Stone, and as an added bonus, it can be used as a flash drive for data storage. It plugs directly into a USB port, but also includes a separate USB cable as well as a set of earbuds. It runs on a single replaceable AAA battery (included) which is said to provide up to 8 hours of playing time, rather than a sealed, nonreplaceable rechargeable battery, which, for me, is a big plus.

Re: [Blind-Computing] More About Coby MP3 Player
This is extremely useful information . Thank you. I was alarmed about your news of the discontinuation of the Zen stone. I did have a look on the UK EBay site where they are still a few available. I bought one as a backup. Although the Zen cannot compare with things like the victor reader it is great for just putting round your neck whilst doing something else like exercising. I use the Zen stone to demonstrate to people learning to use a screen reader how it is possible to transfer files easily using explorer and then listen to audio books. If the accessible version of the Zen stone disappears I will need to identify a replacement . . It will be good to hear your experience of the Coby.

Re: [Blind-Computing] More About Coby MP3 Player
Hey! that's quite interesting. does it have recording and saving functions also? Samson. - Original Message - From: "Gerald Levy" To: "blind-computing" Sent: Sunday, November 22, 2009 8:34 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] More About Coby MP3 Player Well, it turns out that the Coby MP200 MP3 player may be blind accessible after all. I did a little research, and discovered that the Coby MP200 is similar in design to the discontinued Creative Zen Stone that caused such a stir in the blind community when it was first introduced a couple of years ago. Like the Zen Stone, the Coby MP200, which is about the size of a pack of chewing gum, has a concentric ring surrounding a Play-Stop/Power button on its front panel. Pressing and holding it for 5 seconds turns the unit on. Pressing the top of the ring increases the volume, and pressing the bottom of the ring decreases the volume. Pressing the right side of the ring skips to the next track, while pressing and holding it scans rapidly forward through the current track. Pressing the left side of the ring skips to the previous track,, while pressing and holding it scans rapidly backward through the current track. That's it. It has no display screen or navigation menus to dea l with, just a LED power indicator. Unlike the Zen Stone, the Coby unit has no shuffle play mode, so you can only listen to tracks in the order they were downloaded, which, presumably, can be easily accomplished using simple Copy and Pate command. With 2gb of memory, it has twice the storage capacity of the Zen Stone, and as an added bonus, it can be used as a flash drive for data storage. It plugs directly into a USB port, but also includes a separate USB cable as well as a set of earbuds. It runs on a single replaceable AAA battery (included) which is said to provide up to 8 hours of playing time, rather than a sealed, nonreplaceable rechargeable battery, which, for me, is a big plus. So I went ahead and ordered one from J&R. For ten bucks with free shipping, how can you go wrong? http://www.jr.com/coby/pe/CBY_MP2002G/?JRSource=chemail.bfweekend.11142009 Gerald For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] why is this stupid quick time playing myfiles?
It gets used to specifically play certain file types, like .mov files, but they're not too common since I'm pretty sure that's almost like a macintosh's version of a WMV file, but so you could either try just setting options to make it not appear in system tray/auto start, or you could uninstall it for now, since would guess that you might not need it too often, and pretty sure other, useful media playing software, like VLC media player can also play .mov files.

[Blind-Computing] microsoft upgrade advisor
Tonight, I discovered that microsoft.com has a little program listed on the home page that might interest other listers. It is called upgrade advisor and you download it in readiness to see if your present computer will take the windows 7 upgrade. It landed on my programs page but I have not let it run yet. THere's a submenu item to check when you are ready to let it scan your present computer. No one else has mentioned this so I thought I would. Hope it works.

Re: [Blind-Computing] why is this stupid quick time playing myfiles?
OK, just tested VLC media player and it can play .mov files, and so can the other useful media player software, GomPlayer.
