I had a bunch of very cool  Sparcs when I ran my ISP.  Sparc 20 hardware was 
pretty exciting at the time.  I had it loaded up with Ross processors and 
memory chugging away on NNTP.  The coolest hardware I ever worked with from Sun 
was the E10K.  It was so cool changing processors while the machine was booted, 
everything was hot swappable.

Ah, that’s back when computing was fun.:)

 So, if you are comfortable with terminal and share a machine with somebody,
 then the command:
 sudo su somebody -
 
 will give you permission to see all that person's files. Of course any
 encrypted files like the keychain or one password crypt will still not be
 available to you. But all other files when accessed will look like they
 were accessed by somebody.

however, that since this here mid 2009 Mac book pro cannot handle any form of 
Sera, I had to wing it.

Re: Frustrating verification code issue.

2017-06-30 Thread Scott Granados
The codes do time out depending on how long you took.  I just start the process 
over if I’m having issues.  Also make sure you line up with the first edit 
field.  Hit OK after you enter the code and it’s successful, not before.

Hello all:
i’m now trying to use iTunes to play my music in all my daily tasks, but some 
times and don’t know why, when i press cmd-option- left arrow, the song keeps 
rewinding till it reaches the start of the track, what did i do to make this 
happen?
and how can i stop it?
and again, the return key didn’t bring me to the start of the track that am 
playing

Thanks in advance

Re: Frustrating verification code issue.

2017-06-30 Thread Terje Strømberg
It may work starting the process from the start again i.e. find the object 
again and click on buy button. If memory serves, when in the first number 
field, you need to swipe to the right. Normally one character is swiping down. 
Most likely starting the process from the start will work for me in iTunes on 
mac. 

Take care

Re: Frustrating verification code issue.

2017-06-30 Thread Ray Foret jr
Just thought of a suggestion you might want to try.  Since the code is time 
sensitive, you might try handling it like this.

1.  Cause the code to generate and be sent to a text message to your phone.

2.  Open the message.

3.  Now, Make sure you are focused on where the beginning of the code is.

4.  Now, rotate to the text selection and swipe down till you hear “select all”.

5.  Next, rotate to the edit options and choose “coppy”.

6.  Next step is to focus back on the box where the code should be.  

7.  Now, rotate to the edit area and choose “paste”.

Hope that works, but, just remembered, each position in the code edit box is 
place sensitivbe so this will at least give you really fast access to the code.

Mac OS High Sierra Voiceover Changes

2017-06-30 Thread Daniel Chavez
Good day list,
I was wondering why, on the new High Sierra for Mac, did they take away VO plus 
right arrow, so that you can quickly change things (e.g., speech rate, volume, 
etc?)
I don't seem to be able to use VO plus right arrow any longer to adjust those 
values, and was wondering how else can I adjust stuff like speech rate on the 
fly? When I use VO plus right arrow now, it shows only stuff like, (If I'm on 
my desktop), words, characters, web spots, navigation, etc.)
No longer do I see speech rate, volume, or none of the options available when 
Mac OS Sierra was a fully released version. Do I have to now use Voiceover 
Utility from now on to configure what I want? I went into VO help, but it 
doesn't give me what I need as far as a solution.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Re: Removal of 3D Touch app switching gesture in iOS 11 confirmed as intentional change

2017-06-30 Thread Mary Otten
Yes, and the dock has a whole lot more capabilities than it used to. So maybe 
they figure with this new fancy dock, the other thing is it so important.  
Admittedly, it won't work on older phones because they don't have 3D Touch. But 
there are more that do now than than before. I guess the iPad still doesn't 
have it though. Maybe that's why they got rid of it. Who knows?

Hi mary,

Thanks for this.

Does anyone else think this is bloody stupid considering multitasking is one of 
the features apple was pushing for the newer devices and os’s

But I do see that the app switcher using the double tapping of the home button 
is still there.

Well, this is from a public source. So hopefully it's OK to post here. Bummer. 
This and the loss of the ability to return to the previous app you were in from 
another app or unfortunate. I use that last feature a lot to go back to mail

shortcut to move back to the previous app. Both of these elements are no longer 
present in iOS 11 and a bug report appears to confirm that this was an 
intentional removal rather than an outstanding bug.

Bryan Irace filed a Radar about the removal of the 3D Touch convenience gesture 
and posted the Apple engineer’s reply on 
Twitter.

Short but sweet, it unfortunately states that the feature has been removed on 
purpose and will not be returning: ‘Please know that this feature was 
intentionally removed.’

In case you aren’t aware exactly what feature we are referencing, try it out 
for yourself: on an iOS 10 device with 3D Touch, iPhone 6s or iPhone 7, press 
deeply at the left edge of the screen to open the app switcher.

Instead of lifting immediately, drag across to seamlessly switch from the 
current app to the previous one. This was much faster than double-tapping the 
Home Button and dragging between open app ‘cards’, but will simply stop working 
when users upgrade to iOS 11.

Apple engineering has confirmed that 3D Touch multitasking was intentionally 
removed in iOS 11. I am livid.

You can see Craig Federighi demo the gesture at the original iPhone 6s event 
below, which heralded 3D Touch as a marquee feature. It’s fair to say that the 
functionality was not a critical part of the iOS experience; it was meant as a 
power user shortcut to a very common action.

It’s unclear why Apple would remove something that was so useful — perhaps it 
interferes with the gestures of the upcoming bezel-less iPhone 8 somehow, 
although it’s hard to envision how it might clash.

IOS 11 Beta Earpod

2017-06-30 Thread Simon Fogarty
So I thought I'd have a look at these new Earpod media instructions that have 
come out with IOS 11 Beta.

Yes I can see great things with this except for the fact that you can only give 
one media instruction or feature to each of the pods,

If you pick siri for the right and next track for the left, that's it,
you can't have siri and play / pause on the right pod and next track  and stop 
on the left,

and yeah ok these are just examples but this to me is very limiting.

I really think that they need volume play / pause and next / previous buttons 
rather than trying to use tapping but hey I can also see the benefits in no 
buttons.

Re: Removal of 3D Touch app switching gesture in iOS 11 confirmed as intentional change

2017-06-30 Thread Mary Otten
The impression I got from the article was that this button goes away in ios11. 
11. Maybe I misunderstood what I read. I hope I did, because I use that a lot. 
And I'm aware of the app switcher. I'm also aware that the home button is 
apparently going away completely in terms of a physical feelable button on the 
next phone. So it will be interesting how Apple makes that easily findable with 
VO.

Removal of 3D Touch app switching gesture in iOS 11 confirmed as intentional 
change
9to5Mac  /  Benjamin Mayo


Whilst iOS 11 includes a lot of new stuff to enjoy, there are also a few 
features that have been left behind. One such example is a lesser-known 3D 
Touch gesture that enabled faster access to the iPhone app switcher and a quick 
shortcut to move back to the previous app. Both of these elements are no longer 
present in iOS 11 and a bug report appears to confirm that this was an 
intentional removal rather than an outstanding bug.


Bryan Irace filed a Radar about the removal of the 3D Touch convenience gesture 
and posted the Apple engineer’s reply on Twitter.

Short but sweet, it unfortunately states that the feature has been removed on 
purpose and will not be returning: ‘Please know that this feature was 
intentionally removed.’

In case you aren’t aware exactly what feature we are referencing, try it out 
for yourself: on an iOS 10 device with 3D Touch, iPhone 6s or iPhone 7, press 
deeply at the left edge of the screen to open the app switcher.

Instead of lifting immediately, drag across to seamlessly switch from the 
current app to the previous one. This was much faster than double-tapping the 
Home Button and dragging between open app ‘cards’, but will simply stop working 
when users upgrade to iOS 11.

Apple engineering has confirmed that 3D Touch multitasking was intentionally 
removed in iOS 11. I am livid. pic.twitter.com/kiCcLq9XMB

— Bryan Irace (@irace) June 30, 2017

You can see Craig Federighi demo the gesture at the original iPhone 6s event 
below, which heralded 3D Touch as a marquee feature. It’s fair to say that the 
functionality was not a critical part of the iOS experience; it was meant as a 
power user shortcut to a very common action.

It’s unclear why Apple would remove something that was so useful — perhaps it 
interferes with the gestures of the upcoming bezel-less iPhone 8 somehow, 
although it’s hard to envision how it might clash.

Re: Frustrating verification code issue.

2017-06-30 Thread Ray Foret jr
IF you hav another device, you might send the code to that device and type it 
out on the actual phone you want to enter it in to.  Remember, those 
verification codes are rather time sensitive so it really helps if you can send 
that code to another device.

Re: How to use terminal?

Too bad. By the way, IPv4 addresses in North America are exhausted.
There are none to be had, and haven't been any for a couple years now,
except that someone gives up some they have.

iOS 11 adds music playback controls to Apple's AirPods - CNET CNET How To - 
Thursday, June 29, 2017 at 5:00 AM

While there may not be a massive software update for Apple's AirPods 
themselves, iOS 11 allows you to set different functionality when you 
double-tap either AirPod.
Meaning, you can use the left AirPod to Play/Pause your music and the right to 
go to the Next track. Or leave one AirPod to activate Siri while the other is 
assigned another task.
Here's how you to make your AirPods even better:
Open the Settings app on your iOS device.
Tap Bluetooth.
Select the "i" icon next to your AirPod's name.
  
Your AirPods will need to be connected to your device in order for the complete 
settings page to show up. Once there, you can change each Pod's double-tap 
action. The options include: Siri, Play/Pause, Next Track, Previous Track, Off.
Now, if only Apple can figure out an easier way to control volume using an 
AirPod without having to use Siri.

That's funny about MIT. What's actually happening is that they're finally

So, this complainant is behind the times. Innovating for 4 is no longer forward

Simon, the terrorists don’t need or care about GPS.  When you’re a terrorist 
you’re not going for the super high tech high end solution.  You’re going for 
the biggest bang for the smallest buck.  They didn’t need GPS for 9-11, just 
about 20 bucks worth of box cutters.  This relates back to something my father 
who was a Marine told me.  During the Vietnam era we had started to use very 
high tech weapons like  advanced infrared night vision, smart bombs and such.  
The Vietnamese resistance would fool our night vision systems by leaving metal 
out during the day so it got super heated in the sun.  Then, at night they 
would scatter large chunks of super hot metal around which would confuse our 
night vision and make the pilots think they were looking at camp fires not 
decoys.  We’d bomb the hell out of an empty patch of jungle while the enemy 
operated free and clear while we were distracted.  Same deal here it’s all 
about the low tech solution to a high tech adversary.

Frustrating verification code issue.

2017-06-30 Thread Anders Holmberg
Hi!
No matter what i do  the Verification code i get when i sign in to the apple 
beta software seems to be wrong.
I don’t know what’s up but to me it seems i am following the right steps to 
sign in.
I have my Iphone at hand and when i sign in with my Password i get the icloud 
message if i would like this mac to allow to sign in and i click allow on my 
Iphone.
I then get the verification code and meticulous so that the cursor is at the 
first text field.
THen when i type i always check so i have written the right code.
THen i click Continue.
No go.
I admit that the Verification code is great but sometimes frustrating with 
Voiceover.
But i wont give this up as i know it should work.
Any thoughts though of what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Anne!
I've started reading your book and I have come across instructions to tap

Thanks

Hello Harry,

It explains how to get around Pages without getting stuck anywhere. There are 
times when you have to turn cursor tracking off to avoid that problem, or to 
avoid changing something you don’t want to change.
I tested everything over and over again as we wrote the book and I have no 
sight at all to get myself out of difficulties by looking at the screen.
Cheers,

Anne

Here’s the link to the web page where you can purchase the Pages book:


I’m afraid it only covers Pages on the Mac.

Hi Ann,

When I looked up the shortcut on apple’s pages site, it said to use fn command 
return..  I was just confused at first because on my i mac, I am using an 
extended keyboard.  I thought the fn key was only for the little bluetooth 
keyboards and laptops..

Oh, well, live and learn!  thanks for answering, and I love your pages book, 
still going through it..

The page break shortcut works just fine. What you have to remember is that 
Enter is not Return but FN-Return on a laptop, or the Enter key on the numpad

Hi,
I am having trouble with pages.

There is supposed to be a keyboard shortcut, command enter, which makes a page 
break.  when I hit this, my mac makes a bonking noise, and I am unable to 
perform the keyboard shortcut.  If I go to the insert section on the menu bar, 
and choose insert page break, then it works.

Is there any fix for this??  I’d love to be able to use this keyboard shortcut 
versus going through the menu bar..

thanks!

ps-I am thinking about getting Scrivener, any users of that particular app here?

RE: Getting Internet Explorer Favorites in to Safari

2017-06-30 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Brian,

As a windows user I can tell you that moving favourites from IE on one machine 
to another can be done by going into c: then users and under the profile 
username and copying the favourites folder to a USB flash drive and then 
pasting that folder in to the same location on the other machine,

 So if you can grab the folder of favorites from the windows machine, 
Is there a folder you can paste those favorites into on the mac to get safari 
to see them?

 Surely there is some way of this being done.

Subject: Re: Getting Internet Explorer Favorites in to Safari

So far, all of my Google searches have come up empty on an alternative way of 
getting the favorites in to Safari.  It seems that unless they’re exported out 
of IE, then there’s no way to get them into Safari.  I would have thought that 
someone would have come up with some kind of third party app to handle the 
conversion process.  Oh well.

Blessings,

Brian

That's funny about MIT. What's actually happening is that they're
finally moving to IPv6. They're among the last to adopt 6, in part
because they early on acquired so much 4 space.

So, this complainant is behind the times. Innovating for 4 is no longer
forward thinking, imo.

I believe we have Heinlein to thank for "grok."  And, indeed, Wikipedia
confirms it was "Stranger in a Strange Land."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok


Gopher is gopher because it was developed at the University of
Minnesota, where all the sports teams are "Gophers." And, it made a
great pun on "go for" something or other, which is, of course, what it
did well, your Internet step and fetch command.

And, then there's the etymology of "debug," re Admiral Grace Hopper, et
al. Try this Wikipedia for that one:

I've never used ex or ed, but they're both related to vi, now usually
vim (as in improved).

Deleting files with a particular word in the filename is trivial with
the rm command.

And, I believe you can grep the contents of nonbinary files for a
particular expresion and pipe the output to rm.

I suspect there's even a way to do that with sed, but I'd have to grep
around for that!

Wow, parts of 18.0.0.0/8 up for grabs.  There’s a very simple and convincing

Something tells me that MIT has dual stack running very very well.  Give the

 Sudo essentially says run this as root which is the most privileged 
 user on a UNIX system. While you can not break system files in Sierra 
 due to extra security added, any file in user space can be viewed or 
 modified when you use the sudo command. 
 Why sudo you might ask? Well originally there was su for substitute 
 user. This allows one to access the computer with another permissions 
 for a while. 
 
 sudo is a bit more secure in that:
 1. There is a configuration file in /etc/sudoers that says what

 2. It prompts you four your password rather than the person you are

Ah yes finger… I believe I used that on systems other than Unix. Certainly 
there is a finger protocol in addition to the who protocol on the network. So,

On a slightly different note: I was reading in Facebook today about MIT giving

 There's a bit more vocabulary associated with su. It's super user
 because this is the user with extraordinary powers that will trump all
 other permissions on the system.
 
 Simple example: If you have multiple users and one forgets their
 password, the super user can reset that user's password.

Simon, the terrorists don’t need or care about GPS.  When you’re a terrorist 
you’re not going for the super high tech high end solution.  You’re going for 
the biggest bang for the smallest buck.  They didn’t need GPS for 9-11, just 
about 20 bucks worth of box cutters.  This relates back to something my father 
who was a Marine told me.  During the Vietnam era we had started to use very 
high tech weapons like  advanced infrared night vision, smart bombs and such.  
The Vietnamese resistance would fool our night vision systems by leaving metal 
out during the day so it got super heated in the sun.  Then, at night they

night vision and make the pilots think they were looking at camp fires not

operated free and clear while we were distracted.  Same deal here it’s all 
about the low tech solution to a high tech adversary.

 The physical talking signs unit was very simple but effective.  You

I’m running it on the Mac and it’s working pretty well.  Luckily, where I work 
they grant the engineers administrative access to their own laptops.  Of course 
most of our company works with virtual desktops so I’m glad to have a real

 Donna,
 
 While the web page is not very accessible, Go To Meeting always has the 
 option for doing call in to the meeting. I believe I have to Go To 
 Meetings tomorrow, so I could try to connect via Mac and/or Windows if you 
 like for the second meeting. I believe most screen sharing services for 
 web meetings are inaccessible for the blind. Microsoft Lync now re-branded 
 as Skype for Business could work with PowerPoint and JAWS though I think I 
 had to jigger things a bit to have the slides automatically read. 
 
 The only alternative I can see is requesting any presentation materials in

Re: How to use terminal?

2017-06-30 Thread Jonathan Cohn
Actually this is a good hint at how to do advanced commands in VI.

g/outahere/d 

will globally find every line with outta here in it and delete that line.

Perhaps we need a gred command to delete all files with a word in them :-) 
 Actually makes me remember when I was only able to see two or three lines on 
my Sun computer I switched from using vi to using ex. There were a couple 
things that were difficult to do in ex blike joining two lines, but usually I 
found I was less likely to lose the cursor in 30 lines of text, and could 
usually get things done just as efficiently. I wonder, if we could take that 
idea and pair it withBraille routing keys to make an efficient editor for 
braille users. 

I expect this would be easier to create on a android based notetaker than on a 
Macintosh.
Any thoughts?
Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn

Re: Getting Internet Explorer Favorites in to Safari

2017-06-30 Thread John Panarese
   As far as I know and as far as I've done it for myself and other people is 
to export the favorites from IE and import the file. I've been told by a friend 
who is an IT person that you can copy the favorites folder from the Windows 
side and then choose the import option from Safari and select all of the 
favorites from the folder to get them into Safari. I have never tried this 
approach, so I cannot say with any certainty if it truly works.

Re: How to use terminal?

2017-06-30 Thread -dan d.

Grep is a text search utility.  If one has a person's name for example in a
text file it can spot it, the result appears just above the command line.
So for example:

grep williams file

This would return any line with "williams in the file.

It is very powerful and can do much more then simple text searches.

For any command consult the man page.

man grep

will bring up a short manual for any command.  Hitting the q key will exit

Most commands also have an "-h" optionfor a short help.

Re: How to use terminal?

2017-06-30 Thread -dan d.
It can be greatly improved by a few changes.  In vo utility make all 
cursors follow each other.  Interact with text at all times, this allows 
thee vo line and paragraph and speech from cursor etc. to work on the 
screen content.


One can then also move freely on the screen with the vo arrow keys and the
vo home and end keys to tthe top and bottom of the screen.  Vo right and
left arrow keys read a word at a time.  Likewise vo up and down arrows move
between lines.

So for example, vo home goes to the top and vo a reads the entire screen.

I have also done some apple scripts to force the reading of the terminal 
screen as wished in a particular situation.  So for example I have an apple 
script attached to a key commander that combines the moving to the top of 
the screen and start reading the entire screen with one command instead of 
two.


There are some other bits of how I force vo to act as I wish using shell
scripts and a couple of utilities.

search programs of unix/linux. present in the terminal.

The terminal allows one extensive and detailed control over activity that
is determined by whoever develops the same kind of thing in the gui
desktop.  One does it their way or not at all.

If I use a gui desktop program I open it from the terminal and then exit it
whe done back to terminal.

There are a very few programs like vlc I use in the gui desktop
environment.

I use a terminal command to start vlc for example which ends in the desired
local media file name or the url of one on the net.  It then loads that source 
and plays it.

Ah, be very careful of any command in terminal that requires your

Sudo essentially says run this as root which is the most privileged user
on a UNIX system. While you can not break system files in Sierra due to
extra security added, any file in user space can be viewed or modified
when you use the sudo command.
Why sudo you might ask? Well originally there was su for substitute
user. This allows one to access the computer with another permissions
for a while.

sudo is a bit more secure in that:
1. There is a configuration file in /etc/sudoers that says what commands
can be executed by whom whith what rights.
2. It prompts you four your password rather than the person you are
trying to execute as so there is no need to share a password to do this
work.

Take care,

Re: How to use terminal?

2017-06-30 Thread 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries
My advice is to be careful. Yes, there's lots of power available in the
command line tools and, yes, Apple engineers use them.

The careful part is that VO is a pretty clunky screen reader for the
terminal, so you're not really gaining the accessibility edge that you
might reasonably expect from the command line.

But, even if you have a solid Linux system with Speakup or Brltty that
you can use to ssh into your Mac, you still need to be careful. Many
Unix commands are very standard and operate in pretty standard ways
across all flavors of Unix variants, but this is not true for devices.
How devices are addressed and managed will vary widely.

I guess what I'm suggesting is that, if you really know OS X device
management, and you have a strong console/terminal screen reader to work
with over ssh, then you'll find solid value in the terminal.

My personal experience does not yet go to disk formatting on the Mac. I
have, however, done some of the simple things like installing
applications that essentially require you to move a folder to
/Applications. I have also tweaked my VMware machine's dhcp settings to
assign static ip addresses over dhcp by editing the relevant VMware
files.

Warning: Don't update the Hive App

2017-06-30 Thread Adrienne Chalmers
Hi

Anyone using the British Gas Hive heating controller don’t update the app with 
the update released yesterday. Accessibility has been totally compromised for 
the second time this year.

I have reported it and would encourage others to do so. Last time they took 
three weeks to fix it.

Best

Adrienne

Re: IMovie with voiceover

Hello!

Yes, yes, you can do that as well. If you establish In and out to mark the part 
you want to trim, you just cut it with CMD+x and it is gone. The program also 
has the possibility to export to different video and audio formats and keeps of 
course the original files.

If you want help in using it just let me know, but the menus and shortcuts are 
easy to understand by them selves.

I am glad that you liked the program. I use it a lot and love it.

Have a great weekend!

 I asked the same question a while back, and the answer was not 
 encouraging.  I am sorry I don’t remember the details anymore, but I was 
 able to do some simple editing by using menu commands.  From within the 
 clip you can use menu commands to split a single clip and then a trim from 
 beginning (I think that’s what it was) to cut away the piece you don’t 
 want.  It is very tedious, so I too will be interested if someone knows a 
 better way.  Unfortunately it has not occurred even to the usually  
 accommodating folks at apple that blind people do have need to edit video.

 found Terminal in the “others” folder.  when I entered I found my last 
 log-in date, among other things, including shell .  I don’t know where to 
 type or paste.  .  Then I inadvertently closed the window so that it said, 
 “Terminal has no windows”.  So how, exactly, do I use it to put in code?
 
 Thanks,

RE: How to use terminal?

2017-06-30 Thread Simon Fogarty
Yeah I don't know about anyone else but I'm starting to think I need to use 
terminal to carry out multiple partitioning on devices like Flash Drives and 
external drives,

So I'm thinking the terminal command line version of disk utilities 
Might be the best option to do what I need to do.

And, I, on the other hand, do as much as I possibly can in a terminal on 
whatever OS I find myself on.

So, there you go. Different strokes for different folks ... or whatever 
aphorism you might prefer at this spot. Isn't diversity wonderful?

RE: Go to meeting?

2017-06-30 Thread Simon Fogarty
Hi Scott,

Yeah Skype for business is now a Microsoft product formaly known as Link 2013,
It ties in to the Outlook calendar and normally relies on having a skype for 
business server to connect to for your mmeetings / phone system to work through.

I’ve been thinking of setting up my own skype for business server to work with.

It’s another of the office 365 services.

The Skype for business, at least on the Mac is accessible.  I think it’s 
gotomeeting that uses Skype for business as a valid data source.  I know I had 
a meeting invite the other day, clicked on the link and the Skype for business 
application started itself and connected me to the meeting.  The controls on 
the Skype for business AKA MS Link are also pretty accessible.  Not sure if 
that helps at all but that might be a good solution to the video problem if 
Skype for business / link is supported.

While the web page is not very accessible, Go To Meeting always has the option 
for doing call in to the meeting. I believe I have to Go To Meetings tomorrow, 
so I could try to connect via Mac and/or Windows if you like for the second 
meeting. I believe most screen sharing services for web meetings are 
inaccessible for the blind. Microsoft Lync now re-branded as Skype for Business 
could work with PowerPoint and JAWS though I think I had to jigger things a bit 
to have the slides automatically read.

The only alternative I can see is requesting any presentation materials in

Hi Listers,

A few weeks ago we had a discussion on file volt not speaking at the log in

I’ve just put sierra on to a mac mini I’ve obtained from work,

I thought I’d secure things more with file volt and low and behold it only 
beeps when trying to log in, or at least it did before I locked myself out.

Now what I find weird about this is that on my mac book air I have sierra 
installed and file volt enabled yet vo will speak if I command f5 at the prompt 
I log in and am away and racing.

My mac book air is a mid 2013 july MBA and the mac mini is a late 2010 device,

I’m just wondering if this difference in file volt behaviour is due to hardware 
differences

But I thought it was interesting that one machine works one way and the other 
machine another way.

Cheers,
