Re: Thoughts on Tuesday’s event?
Donna, I'll take your advice to heart. I bought a Sharp Talking Time in 1979 and it's been lurking in my shirt pocket ever since. Wearing a watch again might take some getting used to.

Re: Accessibility of portable air conditioners
Hi, I bought a 10,000 BTU portable AC made by Haier for my condo about 5 years ago. I was attracted by the portability part as well. First of all, it came with a remote control with only 6 buttons that made uning it just a matter of memorizing the buttons. The adjustable panel that fit into the window that the hose or hoses attached to was a bit of a pain to move from one window to another especially if the windows were sliders and different sizes. Emptying the condensate tank on it was an issue sometimes. If I had it to do over again I would've opted for a dual hose unit. I think they're more efficient. Frankly, I could've bought two small window AC's for about the same price and might've been a better coice for a 700 square foot condo. If I was inclined to review the thing, I would've given it 3 out of 5 stars.

Are there any that are particularly accessible over any others? And while we’re at it are there any that are better than others? I’m currently looking at Honeywell products but Black & Decker and others make them as well.

Re: How Do You Use iOS?
Hi, It lets you use an IOS device like a tape measure. After calibration, place the device at the start of the measurement, tap Start, move to the end of the measurement, wait a few seconds and it will give you the distance. The calibration is a bit tricky and it's good fro rough measurements. HTH, Dan From: Kawal Gucukoglu Sent: Saturday, April 30, 2016 4:07 PM To: Macvisionaries Subject: Re: How Do You Use iOS?

HTH, Dan From: Christopher-Mark Gilland Sent: Sunday, April 19, 2015 10:56 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Maybe a stupid question, but does a web site service like this exist? Guys, Even if I have to pay a small fee for this, I'm very much willing to do so within reason, and am totally 100% prepared to do so. Here is the very most basic of the situation without going into a lot of detail. I need to send a letter to someone. The issue is, they do not check their e-mail hardly at all. This however is a letter that needs to be written. Again, I would much rather not go into the specifics. I will however at least give you this much information... no. It's is not legal related in any way, and there is absolutely nothing legally binding that says I cannot write this person. It's nothing like that, as much as it's just that they most likely 99.999% chance will not see my e-mail. Trust me. Physically mailing a hard copy letter would be more reliable. I definitely do have their address. The question that I have is, I don't have a printer, and even if I did, I don't have a very reliable way to address the envelope. I'd have to basically have someone help me do so. The thing is, due to certain circumstances, the people who would help me address the letter, as well as print it out for me are very very nosy, and have been known in the past to read my mail, without my prior concent. Yeah, I know, downright illegal. I'm not even touching that one. The point is of this message, does anyone know of a web site which would be accessible with Voiceover that I could use to either A, type my letter directly into the web site, or B, upload it as a word document, or text document, etc. then type the address to be sent to, pay a small printing/shipping cost, securely check out, then have this service basically print and mail the letter on my behalf. I'd say on average, this letter won't be more than probably 2, maybe! pushing it, 2 and a half 8 by 11 pages long. We're not talking a huge huge lengthy letter here. I don't have very good access to a public library nor post office to ask for help. I'm kind a in a rural area. Otherwise, I would. Does anyone have any thoughts?
