[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder
Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list. This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects of computing with the blind user in mind. List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc) Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as I Need help or Does anyone know are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. Also do not include any member names in the subject line. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! 12. The discussion of anything illegal is absolutely forbidden, along with flirting or other such inappropriate activities. this is not a high tech swap shop or anything of that nature at all. This means that goods and or services will not be bought or sold using this forum. No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them. If you don't agree, then you should unsubscribe. David A Ferrin-List Owner For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [Blind-Computing] O T. lg cell phone
Just for clarification,for those who choose to ignore the list guidelines, placing O/T in the subject line, or placing I'm sorry for the off-topic post, in their message, does not make it alright to do so. If you know a subject is off-topic, then don't post it to the list. If you are not sure, then contact the management team, before making such a post. If you can't follow simple rules, then unsubscribe from the list, and If you don't want to follow the rules, then we will unsubscribe you! There is no reason for anyone to not know the guidelines, they are posted to the list on the first of each month, and the link at the bottom of every message will take you to them. This is not directed at any particular member, it's for everyone. Richard Q.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Using Talks
Hi John, This is something that, according to the list guidelines should have been sent to the management team, but since you posted it here, I will answer here, and then we will bring this one to a close on-list. If the discussion pertains to cel phones being connected to the computer for setup or data transfer, then it is computer related. However, if the discussion is focused on the use of the phones themselves, it is off-topic for the list. There are many devices these days that could be referred to as computers of sorts, but they do not fall into the guidelines for this list. People using those types of devices, should seek out lists that are geared for that type of discussion. Blind-computing by design, is limited to the personal computer and it's peripherals and this in itself covers a very wide range of topics. The guidelines will stand as is.

Re: [Blind-Computing] WE'RE FINALLY READY!
Hi John, And this is related to computing, how? I understand your fustration, but, This is not the place for this particular message. Richard Q. Justice-list moderator blind-computing@jaws-users.com jaws-users-l...@jaws-users.com - Original Message - From: John_Justice john_just...@verizon.net To: BLIND COMPUTING blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, February 21, 2010 10:29 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] WE'RE FINALLY READY! Hey group, I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. Linda and I are both totally blind. We just finished packing up our personal belongings in preparation for the painting contractors and carpeting people who will be arriving next week. The thing is, we have accumulated a lot of stuff in living here for the past twenty-four years. When a painter comes in, they have to move everything and that means record cabinets, stereo equipment, books, VCR tapes, cassettes, all of our heavy coats, etc. etc. it took us quite a while to do it all. Even now, after two full weekends of filling cartons, I still have our sound system to disassemble. That will mean labeling every single cable so that I know how to put it back when they're finished. Not every room in the house is being painted this time. Our kitchen, hallway and hall closet, living room and upper hallway are being done. This house is so old that the corners of the walls are starting to crack and some pieces of plaster are falling down. It isn't as awful as it sounds. On the corners of walls made of sheetrock, the builders usually use something called a corner bead. It's a metal plate which extends from the floor to the ceiling and protects the edges of the sheetrock from being damaged. But as a house gets older, it settles and the thin layer of wet plaster which covers that beading, dries out and cracks. Almost every single corner in this entire house has the same problem but the ones on the main floor are the worst. We live in a hillside home. that means the house is built with an additional floor at the rear. Yu can come in the front door through our main entrance and the kitchen will be on your left. On your right, is an alcove which holds the stairs going up to the second floor. if you walk straight ahead, you come into our living room/dining room area and there's a door on your right which leads to a second set of steps going down. This is a relatively modern home so both flights of steps are right above each other. if you go down this second set of steps, you are on our lower floor. there's a half bath down there, a laundry room and a big family room where I'm now sitting. At the end of the family room is a double glass door which leads out onto the patio at the rear of the house. The front of this floor, where the stairs come down, is actually under ground. If you look at the back of our house, you'll see the patio, then two more floors above that. From the front, there's only one additional floor. There are a lot of hillside houses in Pennsylvania because the area is so hilly. Now back to the renovation. We had to fight the landlord tooth and nail to get this work done. We ended up filing a complaint with the Human Relations Commission stating that they were treating us differently because of our blindness. they were, there's no doubt about that. We are blind so they didn't figure we'd need new paint or carpeting and they refused to do any renovations. On top of that, they tried to imply that we had refused the work. It was an awful mess! We had to bring in our own contractors to do the work. But in the settlement, we got them to agree to spend up to twenty-five hundred dollars on repairs, painting and carpeting. We got smart there and used people who had worked for the landlord's agent. In that way, we could be sure that the work would be done right. The contractors would have us to deal with and, if they messed up, the landlord's agent is a really nasty character. I have had several fights with him in the past. It doesn't take much for this guy to go to four letter words, yelling screaming and threatening. We had an old gas stove that was about ready to blow up. The pilots were so badly corroded that they wouldn't stay lit and the oven changed temperature as much as ninety degrees at any given time. They sent in some so-called gas appliance expert who claimed that the stove was fine. So we brought in our own licensed professional and he condemned the stove in writing. The township building inspector sited the landlord and gave him ten days to replace the stove. We got a new one but it's the cheapest one they could find. At least it's a new one and it has those electronic lighters, not the old fashioned open pilot type we used to have. The same thing happened with the refrigerator and they tried to give us an apartment sized one instead of the standard nineteen cubic foot model we had. I forcefully reminded

[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder
Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list. This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects of computing with the blind user in mind. List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as I Need help or Does anyone know are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them.

[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder
Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list. This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects of computing with the blind user in mind. List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as I Need help or Does anyone know are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them. If you don't agree, then you should unsubscribe. David A Ferrin-List Owner For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

I have no problem witih this dictum whether or not I understand the reason(s) so I'm not complaining about it. Perhaps the essence of the problem is that some people do not see a distinction between the jaws user list and the blind computing list. Sometimes we listers are unable to discern whether our issue is a computer problem or a jaws specific problem. If I were smart enough or proficient enough to figure out the difference, I migiht not need a user list at all, right? Hope you have a good day.

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.

List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as I Need help or Does anyone know are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them. If you don't agree, then you should unsubscribe. David A Ferrin-List Owner For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [Blind-Computing] The Focus 40 Blue Wireless Braille DisplayAnnounced
This list is not to be used for the buying, selling, or trading of any items, especially products from companies such as Freedom Scientific. I just reminded another list member of this within the past few days. Everyone should familiarize themselves with the list guidelines, which state that if you have an article of interest to the list, then it is to be sent to the management team for consideration before being posted to the list. It is fine to discuss the products, but this post is a direct advertisement from Freedom Scientific. If you want to make other members aware of items that are related to the computer for use by the blind, Post a link, and not an advertisement. Richard Q.

The Focus 40 Blue offers 40 cells of refreshable braille, Bluetooth 2.0 for wireless connectivity up to 30 feet, a Perkins-style braille keyboard, and USB 2.0 support that also charges the unit when connected - all in a new compact package that is 40 percent smaller than the current Focus 40. The Focus 40 Blue gives you braille anywhere, on a wide range of devices, said Jonathan Mosen, Freedom Scientific's Vice President of Hardware Product Management. With 40 cells of braille, it's powerful enough to do serious work, yet its small size and handy carrying case make it easy to take with you everywhere. The Bluetooth connection, which runs for 20 hours between charges in typical use, is great for working on the move with a laptop running JAWS®. Take your Focus 40 Blue to a lectern for example, and run a PowerPoint presentation wirelessly from your braille display, or leave your PC in your bag during your commute, and work with just the Focus 40 Blue. The Focus 40 Blue is designed to accommodate everyone's braille preferences, with a range of navigation methods including WHIZWHEELS®, thumb keys, and rocker bars. There are 10 hot keys that can be configured to perform frequently used functions for maximum productivity. You can even set the firmness of the braille dots to your personal taste with VariBraille. The Focus 40 Blue incorporates Freedom Scientific's seamless braille cell construction, so it feels like reading braille on paper, added Mosen. When used with JAWS, the two rows of keys above the braille cells support Freedom Scientific's unique Braille Study Mode, an interactive tool for teaching and learning braille. The new braille display will begin shipping in July and is priced at $4,495 with a 2-year warranty. For more information including specifications, visit the Focus 40 Blue Web page or contact Freedom Scientific at 800-444-4443 or 727-803-8000.

[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder
Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list. This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects of computing with the blind user in mind. List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as I Need help or Does anyone know are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them. If you don't agree, then you should unsubscribe. David A. Ferrin-List Owner For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

[Blind-Computing] Cool Website
I'm passing this along from another list member, although I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, sounds interesting. Today's Cool Site... From Kim Komando A search site with a brain Google is hands down the most popular search site. In fact, the name is practically synonymous with Web searches. Of course, Google has a long history of offering innovative services. But here's a news flash: Google isn't the only innovator in search! In fact, a remarkable new search site launched this past week. And it has everybody talking. WolframAlpha isn't going to replace Google. It isn't designed to help you surf the Net. Rather, WolframAlpha is a computational search site. That's just a fancy way of saying that it is designed to help you find answers. For example, you can enter a math problem. WolframAlpha will return the result. Google can do this with simple problems. But try feeding it a complex calculus equation! Solving math problems is only the tip of the iceberg. WolframAlpha is capable of so many more interesting feats. The site is quite fun to explore. You might try entering dates or names. Ask questions about science or the stock market. You'll be amazed at how smart this site is! WolframAlpha is perfect for finding answers to tricky questions. You'll want to bookmark it. That way, you're prepared when your kids ask for help with their trigonometry homework! TO VISIT TODAY'S COOL SITE, GO HERE: www.wolframalpha.com Richard Q.

[Blind-Computing] LIST GUIDELINES REMINDER
The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as I Need help or Does anyone know are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them.

If you can't afford to or for any other reason, you can keep on using our service for free just like you have been doing until now - no questions asked. If you decide to donate, you are benefiting in several ways: 1. You help us pay for the service and thus ensure it remains available to all who need it, people like you. 2. We will use your money to fund further developments and improvements to WebVisum - things which we wanted to do ever since we've dreamt the project up and hopefully allow us to make it even more exciting and useful. 3. Optionally, your name or nickname will appear on our wall of fame as someone who helped the project. 4. As another way of saying thanks for your support, you will be able to solve up to 50 CAPTCHAs per day instead of the usual 10. Let us stress that we still feel 10 CAPTCHAs per day is more than sufficient for the majority of our users. This feature will be active for six months following your donation. You can donate a minimum of $5 or any higher amount that you see fit and can afford - we cannot make the minimum much lower because of transaction fees. There is no renewal and you are only charged once. These donations are not tax deductible as we are not listed as a non profit organization To donate go to webvisum.com and follow the Donate link.

[Blind-Computing] LIST GUIDELINES REMINDER
Here are the list guidelines, all members should read them carefully! Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list. This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects of computing with the blind user in mind. List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as I Need help or Does anyone know are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. The use of a spell checker is strongly encouraged. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them. If you don't agree, then you should unsubscribe.

[Blind-Computing] New Release of Window Eyes
GW Micro is proud to announce the official release of Window-Eyes 7.0. The maturity of Window-Eyes has reached unprecedented levels in this latest version. The addition of scripting support provides users with the tools to enhance the accessibility and usability of third party applications, the operating system, and even Window-Eyes itself. GW Micro has always stood by the statement that Window-Eyes does not include complicated and proprietary scripting support, and that statement remains true with Window-Eyes 7.0. Instead, the addition of an industry standard scripting interface using tools that already exist in the Windows operating system allows users new to scripting, seasoned programmers, and everyone in between to take full advantage of this powerful new feature without getting bogged down in a complex and rigid programming environment. Users not interested in creating scripts can still take advantage of scripts written by other users through an intuitive script management system. GW Micro is also proud to offer a centralized script repository where both script users and script developers can gather to distribute and discuss Window-Eyes scripts. More information can be found at http://www.gwmicro.com/sc. Window-Eyes 7.0 contains several other features, including many Browse Mode enhancements, the inclusion of a new Eloquence synthesizer, support for both Firefox 3 and Internet Explorer 8, and overall increased speed and stability. Window-Eyes 7.0 is fully Unicode compliant, allowing for more localization options for virtually any language. In addition, Window-Eyes 7.0 is the first screen reader to provide support for iTunes 8, including access to the Apple iTunes store. Thank you to everyone involved in the public beta cycle. Window-Eyes continues to lead the way in adaptive technology because of the dedication of our customers. Window-Eyes 7.0 is a paid upgrade for existing Window-Eyes users. If you own Window-Eyes 6.1, you may purchase an upgrade to Window-Eyes 7.0 for $175, plus shipping. If you already own Window-Eyes 6.1, and have an active SMA, you will be receiving your Window-Eyes 7.0 CD in the mail soon. Please be patient; all Window-Eyes SMA CDs are our first priority. You may also choose to download your Window-Eyes 7.0 upgrade for immediate installation. To download the Window-Eyes 7.0 upgrade, to check the status of your SMA account, or to determine your upgrade eligibility, go to the Window-Eyes Help menu, and choose the Window-Eyes Upgrade option. Alternatively, you can visit http://www.gwmicro.com/upgrade, and follow the instructions. If you own a version of Window-Eyes older than 6.1, refer to the GW Micro Window-Eyes Upgrade Catalog page ( https://www.gwmicro.com/Catalog/Upgrades/) for applicable upgrade costs. Window-Eyes 7.0 supports Windows 2000, Windows XP (32-bit versions of Home, Professional, and Media Center), Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista (all 32-bit versions), and Windows Server 2008 (all 32-bit versions).

[Blind-Computing] List Guidelines Reminder
Here are the list guidelines, all members should read them carefully! Welcome to the Blind Computing mailing list. This list has been created for the purpose of discussing any and all aspects of computing with the blind user in mind. List Guidelines: The following are guidelines set forth by the list management team and every member is expected to abide by them. 1. Profanity and ethnic or racial slurs will not be tolerated. 2. Flaming of individuals or groups or organizations of any kind will not be tolerated. 3. Advertising is not permitted. 4. Political or religious inferences or discussions are not permitted. 5. Forwarded messages and attachments are not permitted. If you have an article or message of interest which relates to the nature of this list send it to the list owner and if it is appropriate, it will be posted to the list. Additionally if you want to make an announcement about another list send it to the list owner for consideration. Do not post it to the list before obtaining approval. 6. No off-topic posts! Simply placing off topic in the subject line does not make it all right. Off-topic posts include but are not limited to discussions of Blind advocacy groups, products for the blind that are not computer-related items, Transportation for the blind, and Job opportunities or concerns. If you are not sure whether or not your topic is appropriate contact the list owner for approval before posting. 7. Cross-posting is not permitted, and members should only post in the following manner: Using the TO: field with only one list address. The SUBJECT: field should be short and to the point without including any member names. The reason for this is that in cases where people setup their message rules to go by the To: field often times such rules get fowled up and in effect do not work properly. Also cross posting might allow you to reach many lists at the same time but the fact is such a post might not be on topic for each and every list. This practice does nothing ut clutter up such lists with unwanted off topic messages along with annoying the list moderators. 8. On topic posts may include but are not limited to discussions of Screen readers and magnifiers, computer peripherals, (scanners printers Braille devices etc.), Computer operation, Computer maintenance and Computer building. 9. Subject lines should be clear and to the point! Subject lines such as I Need help or Does anyone know are not descriptive and might be ignored by the very person who might otherwise have answered your query. 10. Keep the message content relative to the topic being discussed! If the conversation starts to drift from the original topic initiate a new conversation message with a new subject line to reflect the new topic. 11. No auto responders are to be used on this list! Those who use auto responders for vacations and so forth must make sure that this list is not included. Any person who sends an auto response message will be removed! No message headers please! Nobody wants to read an irrelevant message before reading your post. If you want to plug your business church or whatever do it somewhere else not on this list! If you want to include contact information and a tag line at the bottom of your messages feel free to do so but do not make another message out of it. Remember that there are people of different walks of life origin age groups and levels of computer experience on the list. Individuals with more knowledge and experience should be patient with those who are trying to become more proficient. The use of a spell checker is strongly encouraged. If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job. Hopefully everyone will benefit from this list and it will allow all of us to be more comfortable and productive using these machines that help us get thru this thing called life! * By joining this list you accept the guidelines as outlined above, and agree to abide by them.

[Blind-Computing] Web Accessibility
Picked this off of another list, and felt it would be beneficial to everyone. HTH, Richard q. Justice-list moderator I'd like to introduce an exciting service that was made available last week. This is a collaborative way to improve the accessibility of the web. Basically, screen reader users can submit requests to make a site more accessible, such as adding a heading, labeling a graphic and so on. A community of volunteers or supporters can take a look at the requests and the web site and make updates to a server so that these suggestions will be available the next time you access the site. Furthermore, these updates will be available to anyone accessing the same site. Below, Hiro--one of the researchers--explains how to request and IBM ID, install the JAWS scripts and use the service. The tutorial he points to is especially good. If you have any questions, please send them to Hiro-who's email address is below, or myself. I'll answer what I can and forward the rest on to Hiro. Date: 07/09/2008 01:10 PM Subject: Social Accessibility Project Hi Christopher, Thank you for your great support in development phase! We finally started an external service, just yesterday. The number of active volunteers is increasing, so now, we really welcome participation of screen reader users. Could you forward this mail to potential participants? I will attach a brief description and an instruction to join the service. What is the Social Accessibility Project? The Social Accessibility Project is a service whose goal is to make Web pages more accessible to people with disabilities. The service gathers users' input and uses the power of the open community while not changing any existing content. This pilot service focuses on users of screen readers. Users encountering Web access problems anywhere at any time can immediately report problems to the Social Accessibility server. Volunteers (called supporters) can be quickly notified and can easily respond by creating and publishing the requested accessibility metadata, which will help other users who encounter the same problems. Users themselves are also allowed to improve accessibility of pages by sharing landmarks on a page. Site owners can learn about methods for future accessibility renovations based on the volunteers' external metadata. The system consists of tools and a server that enables the collaborative authoring. The entire process is empowered by various collaboration services, such as comments, discussions, measurements, and incentives. Front page http://services.alphaworks.ibm.com/socialaccessibility/ How to join it? Step 1. Please get an IBM ID. https://socialaccessibility.alphaworks.ibm.com/help/get_ibm_id If you have any problem with IBM ID, please contact call center. +1 888 426 4409 or +1 303 262 5669 in U.S. Step 2. Please sign up to the service with IBM ID and password. In the sign up process, please select join as a user. https://socialaccessibility.alphaworks.ibm.com/account/login Step 3. Download and install a screen reader extension for Jaws. http://socialaccessibility.alphaworks.ibm.com/help/download_user Step 4.

Richard Q Justice-list moderator - Original Message - From: Parham [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2008 12:16 PM Subject: [Blind-Computing] Anyone knows of an alternative for VMWareWorkstation? Hello, I was going to introduce myself to the list and then ask my question in two seperait posts, but i thought I would do them both in one post: I'm Parham Doostdar, 18 years from Iran. I've been working with computers for a while and I'm studying computers; professional software programming. I've been blind since birth. And about my question: VMWare's Virtual Machine Workstation doesn't work for me. I can install it, but then when I do, none of the .exe files in it run. I've done everything I could think of, but still nothing happened. Has anyone had a simular experience, and if not, more importantly, is there an alternative for VMWare Workstation? I've tried Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, but I can't install Linux on it. Since Linux doesn't have a high quality accessibility, I want to be able to switch back to Windows and only run a few programs on Linux that don't compile under Windows. Thanks, and sorry if I babbled. --- Contact info: Skype: parham-d MSN: fire_lizard16 at hotmail dot com email: parham90 at GMail dot com Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/blind-computing@jaws-users.com/ To post to this group, send email to blind-computing@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit the JAWS Users List home page at: http://www.jaws-users.com Visit the Blind Computing home page at: http://www.blind-computing.com Address for the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/blind-computing@jaws-users.com/ To post to this group, send email to blind-computing@jaws-users.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help from Mailman with your account Put the word help in the subject or body of a blank message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use the following form in order to contact the management team http://www.jaws-users.com/BlindComputing.php If you wish to join the JAWS Users List send a blank email to the following address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you have comments, questions or concerns about how the list is being run do not post them to the list contact the list management team. It is not the place for any individual list member to admonish another member for an improper post let the management Team do their job.

Re: [Blind-Computing] KURZWEIL LIST
The link that was posted in the previous message worked for me, however, after filling out the form, I did get a page with an error. It is an internal server error, and I have notified their webmaster about it. HTH, Richard Q.

Then the program goes to local folders and normally local folders is open. Now, with this new computer when I go to local folders it is closed and I have to open it with the right arrow. The question is, What can I do to keep local folders open so I don't have to open it whenever I want to move a message into a folder. I am running 2002 XP Home , Office Home, Outlook Express, and Jaws 9.0.552. These are the same programs as in the old computer but I am just trying to work the bugs out of this new computer. This local folders thing is a minor irritant when it comes to saving messages. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
