Hi,
Are you looking for NAS or an external USB 3 based storage device?
I have good experiences with Western Digital units - both NAS and external
hard drives. 
Hth,

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Network Attached Storage  RAID.

Hello Everyone.

I am currently researching my options for purchasing a Network Attached
Storage (NAS) box, and have some questions involving them.

My Primary question is, are there any Manufacturers, Brands, Models, etc
that I should stay away from?
That I should place in higher contention than the others?
Why, and please cite all relevant sources so that I can continue researching
along those provided avenues.

A secondary, but not unrelated question, is which Redundant Array of
Independant Disks (RAID) controllers (again, Manufacturer, Brand, Models,
etc) should I avoid or gravitate towards? And again, please cite all
relevant sources so I can continue researching.
Are there any Blind Accessable Software RAID programs out there? If so,
which ones work  which ones deserve to be stomped into a wood chipper 
turned into mulch with extreme prejudice?

I'm going to be using the NAS with my laptop, so installing a physical RAID
controller card isn't an option, and I'd prefer if the box had either a USB
or E-SATA connection to the laptop.
(WiFi doesn't like me  tends to scramble itself due to my magnetic
personality. *Chortle*) Another reason to prefer the physical connection is
that I'm not fond of having to File Transfer Protocol (FTP) my own files
across my sluggish network to my NAS box.
It would take too long to FTP multiple TeraBytes of data to the NAS, when I
could just plug in the USB or E-SATA cable from the NAS to my laptop, and
move them via Windows File Explorer like I would any other files.
Since I'm connected via Cable Modem (no Wireless), the RJ45 jack of the
laptop is already in use, so I can't connect it that way.

Thank you for the help, and any assistance is appreciated.

Re: [Blind-Computing] re-post of question about jaws 12

2013-01-29 Thread PL
Besides, if you try to install incorrect version of JAWS for a given flavor
of the operating system your installation would refuse the process so 64-bit
of JAWS  wouldn't go on 32-bit OS and vice versa.

what matters is the type of key you have and what the work computer is, a 32
bit or a 64 bit system and what OS is installed on it

Re: [Blind-Computing] Locked out of Windows and can't get in, any helpers please?

Hi,
Unfortunately one would need some sighted assistance, I am afraid.
Perhaps this is worth to see if this helps: http://vinuxproject.org/ in
getting at least the speech-enabled distribution of Linux.
Majid - thanks for this email.
Best,

 Hello friends, I urgently need your help please.

 as you all may be aware I posted previusly a problem concerning
 IE or any browser won't let me change my homepage from AVG
 security search.  I was told that it probably  had to do with
 some kind of settings in parental control and I went in there to
 see if I could figure out what to do.  Whilst in there, I was
 prompted by Windows to set a password, less programs or persons
 could have acces and pose some kind of a security risk which I
 did and confirmed it in the box that followed.  I created a
 really simple password which I am sure to remember and when I
 rebooted the machine I am locked out of Windows.  I hear the
 startup sound but gets the prompt to enter my password and it
 never worked.  So one problem lead me int another.

 Do you have any idea as to how I can reset this or would I have
 to do the dreaded reformat?
