RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list
Hi yes approximately 2000 after shocks thus far, A couple on Tuesday afternoon local nz time that were up in the 5 range, Yes lots of people went to work but of course that depended on your location, a lot of damage in the closer towns / cities but Wellington city has a good couple of blocks shut off due to damage done to buildings. At least one of those to come down if it doesn't fall down first in an after shock. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Karen Lewellen Sent: Tuesday, 15 November 2016 4:35 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list I am very very thankful indeed that all of you are well.I did smile when David wrote of going to work a few hours afterward.

RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list
Hi Donna, Very safe in my case, sitting on the reclining chair with feet up watching news on tv. Thinking of food, Where as 500 to 600 Km north of me are a couple of thousand people struggling to sleep or eat due to the damages from the quake. Then in the capital city wellington the worse damaged major city we've got city streets and buildings being closed off due to damage from the quake, One such building is seemingly on a lean and they have advised today that it will be demoed But good work being done by all parties to get people to safety and the major damaged areas cleaned up. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Donna Goodin Sent: Tuesday, 15 November 2016 2:23 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list Simon, Not Scott, but thanks for filling us in.

RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list
Hi scott and all, As of today the earthquake has been increased in strength to a 7.8 from the original 7.5. Currently trapped tourists are being moved out of Kaikoura by either Helo and as of this afternoon the NZ navy HMNZ Canterbury There is a US naval cruiser and a Canadian frigget and an Austrailian navel vessel all meant to be turning up this evening to help ship trapped people out, this area of NZ is very popular for tourists as it's got a lot of whale and seal marine life tourism people pay to go out in boats to watch whales playing around in the surf. Road access has just been opened to the area of concern late this afternoon, one lane opened through a 50 Km area that was blocked by slips Otherwise only access by sea or air, -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Granados Sent: Monday, 14 November 2016 11:54 PM To: MacVisionaries 'Chris Blouch' via <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list Well I lived in the San Francisco Bay area for a while where we had these, not a 7.4 though.

I thought about you all today and hoped you would be OK. I hate that disabled people are having to cope with disasters especially if they are alone.

Well I can definitely relate to that. Notice I used to live in San Francisco.:) Between the taxes and the cost of living the quakes were the final straw. I don’t mind hurricanes or storms you get advanced warning. There isn’t a really valid advanced warning system for quakes yet although I know efforts are being made in that area and some claim animals run away just before a quake which I believe is possible. My cat used to hate quakes but she seemed to only react during them and hide for a day or so until things calmed down. I like being on solid east coast ground where we have quakes but all sub 3.0 on the scale and the plates don’t stick here so we don’t have any of any size. Good luck, we’re pulling for you. > On Nov 14, 2016, at 4:17 AM, David Chittenden <dchitten...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Nope, David is in Wellington.

RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list
Thanks for the thoughts girls and guys, We all appreciate it. Scot as for being from Davids neck of the woods, actually we're at different ends of the country, I'm in Dunedin, which is approx. 6 hours by road from twhere the eppi center would have been, david from memory is in Auckland which is approx. probably close to 1200 if not more kilometres north of where the quake was, Unlike david, I slept all night and didn't feel a thing, I know David is an import to NZ but it would appear Auckland is rubbing off on him because he woke to the quake soft like auklanders are! However he's alright and will catch up on his sleep tonight. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list
Hi David, Sorry to hear you had a bad night, From reports I've heard the main quake struck as David said after midnight local time, we have one time zone here. There were / have been up till now approx. 450 +/- after shocks I had heard something about there having been some smaller quakes north of wellington, Not confirmed but it is a fault line area. Main damage as I stated previously is inferstructure within the northern Canterbury area mainly roads and rail systems between Christchurch and northern parts of south island, has cut off all raod and rail freight shipments from north island to Christchurch by road / rail, it's kind of difficult to explain the eppi centre area, but imagine the ruggidous coast line of rocks and mountains up to the water line then cut a road way out of the side of the mountain above the coastal shore,oh and for good measure put a few tunnels along the way for the rail lines and road to go through, that's pretty much the landscape along the shore line in the area the quake struck. Wellington is a good 300 Km north of where the quake struck -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

RE: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list
Hi Scott, The quake was centred approx. 2 hours drive north of Christchurch largest city in south island, Approx. 15 Km deep and yes 7.5 was the reported strength, however the big one doubled up with a slightly less powerfull quake within minutes of each other, causing approx. 2 minutes of rocking and rolling. The eppi centre was in a very ruggid coastline / mountainous area of the south island coast cutting off road and rail lines north of Christchurch, The quake was felt pretty much the length of the country I've heard of people in Invercargill southern most city in NZ to Auckland at the north end having felt it but I know people in Dunedin did feel it. Dunedin is aprox 400Km south of christchurch, Where I live, ( i sleep pretty soundly! there were tidal wave warnings the length of the nz east coast, noticible tidal movements after the quake off the southern wellington coastline and damage to city with broken glass from high rise buildings etc. Most people kept out of CBD of wellington city wellington is our capital and ssitsat the bottom end of our North island, current count is two lives lost to the quake although one of those also medical issue related, the other pretty much the house fell on him during the night, mans 100 year old mother was escorted from the devistation I believe curretnly the after shock count is up over 450 including some larger after shocks of around the 6 mark on the scale, the majority thus far of damage is from reports is roading and rail inferstructure bridges landslides including tunnels being blocked along the kaikoura coast which is pretty much the eppi centre.other than that NZ takes another one on the chin, -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Granados Sent: Monday, 14 November 2016 3:53 AM To: MacVisionaries 'Chris Blouch' via <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list Our news is reporting a 7.4 Earthquake and tsunami resulting from the quake.

Hi, I hope all is well for our New Zealand folk as well. Simon, David and others who I apologize for not naming specifically.

I certainly appreciated all the well wishes last May during our wildfires, and know how much all the thoughts and prayers from members of this list made me feel truly hopeful.

Well said, and I fully support our subscribers from New Zealand at a difficult time. If the New Zealand government is equipped to deliver emergency messages via mobile phones, then at least the information should be accessible with VoiceOver on iOS devices. I'm from Australia, but I've been working in the United States for a few years. The emergency messages delivered here are signaled by loud alert sounds on the phone. I assume they're sent to every mobile phone in a given area. VoiceOver can then read the content of the message, as though it were an ordinary text message. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

Re: I know we have several people from New Zealand on list
Hi Scott, The quake struck just after midnight local time. It woke me up. The news is reporting some possible structural damage in central city Wellington. Apparently the entire country felt the shake. There is a tsunami warning in effect. I have been woken up by a few aftershocks: I am going back to sleep for another couple hours before I need to get up for work.

Re: new to the list
1. Navigate to the item you wish to drag. 2. Route your mouse pointer to the Voiceover cursor with vo+Command+F5. 3. Press vo+command+shift+spacebar to begin the drag drop process. 4. Navigate to the item where you want to drop the item you're dragging. 5. Route your mouse once again with vo+Command+F5. 6. Drop the item, thereby finnishing the process by pressing vo+command+shift+spacebar once again. Note that perhaps an easier way is to: 1. Locate the first item which you want to drag and drop. 2. Press vo+Comma. 3. Locate where you wish to drop the item. 4. Press vo+period. I've found this method not to be nearly as reliable though.

Re: New to the List
Hi F first of all, I want to thank all of you for your excellent responses. Well, I will certainly try the applications that were suggested. STD before, recording isn't really an issue right now, but maybe in the future. As for as an accessible MUD client, we can wait on that, as its not really a priority at the moment. Telnet works just fine, provided I use visually impaired mode,where supported. I plan to write the friendly workers at accessibil...@apple.com in order to try and get a usable solution to the terminal-based issues. Note that I come from a UNIX and Linux background, so I'm am of course comfortable with various shells, as well as writing shell scripts. I see that Voiceover has the ability to be controlled via Apple Script, which is promising. However, in order to get cursor tracking working, and a much better user experience within Terminal, its going to take more than Apple Scripts. Anyways, as I said before, this is an excellent discussion, so it's go for it.

Hello everyone. Well, i'm the new proud owner of a iMac late 2013 model, and have had it for almost weeks. So far, I love it, and the learning curve is not difficult at all. However, I have a few questions, which probably aren't too difficult. So, here goes. 1. Whatwould you recommend as an accessible IRC client? Note that I have Adium installed, but that's not a perfect solution. If Adium reads the messages as they come in, their's no way to control the rate of speech, or just to bypass all queued messages and start reading the new text that is being displayed in the channel. For channels which are not high-traffic, this isn't a problem. However, if you have a channel which has a lot of users sending messages, this simply does not work. I would use console applications such as epic or other IRC clients, but their are major issues with Voiceover reading incoming text in console-based applications. Cursor tracking using Voiceover seems nonexistent, as well as a myriad of issues. 2. What would you recommend as a very accessible MUDD client? Preferably a client that supports MCP, sounds, etc? 3. What do you all use to listen to Internet Radio? 4. Flash Plugin? Should I bother installing it on this machine? Thanks for all your time. If I get enough answers, I will post a summary document in return for your time spent researching and answering my questions.

If Adium reads the messages as they come in, their's no way to control the rate of speech, or just to bypass all queued messages and start reading the new text that is being displayed in the channel. For channels which are not high-traffic, this isn't a problem. However, if you have a channel which has a lot of users sending messages, this simply does not work. I would use console applications such as epic or other IRC clients, but their are major issues with Voiceover reading incoming text in console-based applications. Cursor tracking using Voiceover seems nonexistent, as well as a myriad of issues. 2. What would you recommend as a very accessible MUDD client? Preferably a client that supports MCP, sounds, etc? 3. What do you all use to listen to Internet Radio? 4. Flash Plugin? Should I bother installing it on this machine? Thanks for all your time. If I get enough answers, I will post a summary document in return for your time spent researching and answering my questions.

Re: New to the List
The Radio Recorder app is also very similar to TuneIn or Ootunes on iOS devices. It can even record automatically in case you hear something and realize you want to listen to it again. I’ve no idea which app offers the more comprehensive directory as I’ve never tried Radium, but that shouldn’t be an issue since you can always add URLs manually. Having that recording functionality might be good for later use if you’re going to buy an app. Grant On Jan 22, 2015, at 1:22 PM, Erik Heil ehe...@gmail.com wrote: Hey guys, thank you for all the suggestions.

Re: New to the List
Hi Erik, I can answer your last two questions. I Personally use the Radio Recorder app, as it can both listen to, and record directly from, internet radio stations. The interface leaves quite a lot to be desired, but if you add your most frequently listened to stations to a playlist (I’ve named mine “favghrites”) you should be good to go and become very efficient with the app. You should be able to figure out the interface with some trial and error, but I’m happy to offer some tips if needed as I know it’s not the most user friendly. Here’s the link: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/radio-recorder/id475736169?mt=12 https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/radio-recorder/id475736169?mt=12 If you just want to listen to internet streams, but not record them, then the Radium app is often recommended here: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/radium-perfect-internet-radio/id597611879?mt=12 As for Adobe Flash Player, I wouldn’t install it until you need to. YouTube, SoundCloud, Netflix, and many other popular sites can play their content without flash, right out of the box.

Re: New to the List
Yes, I like Radium too, although I wish since the Australian Open tennis tournament is now on that they have the radio station for it. For that I have to go to Tunein's website to listen to it. It would be nice if I could listen to it outside Safari if I wanted to listen to it on my Mac but oh well. Also, it wouldn't hurt to install flash. I know for me that I like to go on websites that offer live TV streams for channels like ESPN 2 and such and I haven't found websites that stream in HTML 5. I would be up for any suggestions as to websites that offer streams in this format because I like being able to watch stuff on my TV using my Xbox 360 and it doesn't support flash. If this is getting off topic, then by all means, write me off list. As for Adium, yes, I do notice that the built in speech can sometimes be annoying. To counter this, I use an app called Growl which has it's own options for speech. You can also silence it by pressing control if you have Voiceover on. It's $1.99 and works well with Yosemite.

I would be up for any suggestions as to websites that offer streams in this format because I like being able to watch stuff on my TV using my Xbox 360 and it doesn't support flash. If this is getting off topic, then by all means, write me off list. As for Adium, yes, I do notice that the built in speech can sometimes be annoying. To counter this, I use an app called Growl which has it's own options for speech. You can also silence it by pressing control if you have Voiceover on. It's $1.99 and works well with Yosemite.

If Adium reads the messages as they come in, their's no way to control the rate of speech, or just to bypass all queued messages and start reading the new text that is being displayed in the channel.

Cursor tracking using Voiceover seems nonexistent, as well as a myriad of issues. 2. What would you recommend as a very accessible MUDD client? Preferably a client that supports MCP, sounds, etc? 3.

Re: New to the List
Hey guys, thank you for all the suggestions. I will definitely try those applications. Recording is not really an issue right now, but I wish there was something similar to the tune in app that is available for android it all as iOS devices. Perhaps there is, but I'm just not aware of it. Sent from my iPhone On Jan 22, 2015, at 2:39 PM, Matthew Dierckens matt.dierck...@me.com wrote: Hello. I can only answer two of your questions.

new to the list
Hi all. My name is Carlos Taylor and I'm new to the list. I thought I would join the list to pick up any tips and tricks of VoiceOver and the Mac. However, I'm not entirely new to the Mac. I'm composing this message using a 2008 iMac at work. In fact, I was in the AppleSeed program beta testing os 10.4 tiger, so I got to see VoiceOver in its infancy. It has really grown and matured since then. I even purchased a Mac Mini, but it was soon made obsolete when Apple switched to Intel processors. I'm planning to purchase a new Mac Mini later this year. Until then, I'll keep using Macs at work whenever possible. I'm also waiting to receive a 13-inch MacBook air to replace a 6-year-old Windows XP based laptop for work. I oversee technology for students and faculty with disabilities at a mid-sized public university. I work with faculty and students using both Macs and PCs, so I am trying to keep myself up-to-date in the Apple world. I have been a long-time user of Window-Eyes and more recently, NVDA. I've been an iPhone user since the summer of 2009, when Apple first included VoiceOver on the iOS platform. Going back even further, one of the first computers I used as a child was an apple 2e at school. At home, we first had a commodor 64 then later got an apple 2gs. So that's a little about me. I look forward to learning what I can from the list. Carlos Taylor -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: New to the List
Hey Scott, Welcome don't feel alone. The reasons you stated the, basically, yearly upgrade fees for JAWS were what led me to switch to a mac several years ago. I'm on my second one now, as my first was a hand-me-down from my wife. While nothing's perfect, it's, still, quite a thrill to walk into the Apple Store or Best Buy start playing with the demo Macs, just like everyone else. When you're ready to purchase, be sure to check out the refurbs that Apple offers. Also, you can occasionally find a great deal on an open-in-box @ Best Buy. But again, welcome to the list.

New to the list, with lots of questions
Hi, I'm currently using a Windows pc with the Window-eyes screen reader, and am considering switching to Mac when purchasing my next computer. I'm wondering how the Mac experience will differ from my experience with Window-eyes. 1. Is there a braille transcription program available? I currently use Duxbury, with a 15 year old Index Everest embosser. I'm open to using a different braille transcription program, as long as the cost isn't prohibitive, but I'd like to be able to use my embosser. 2. How about OCR? I currently use Kurzweil 1000. 3. Are there any music notation programs that will work on the Mac? I currently have not found anything that will work with Window-eyes. I would like to find software that will allow me to scan music on to the computer, and will either read or play the music. It would also be nice to be able to write music notation on the computer. 4. How does the word processing experience differ from pc to Mac? I'm not a high power user of word, but do use it for very basic documents. Is there much difference in creating and editing documents on a Mac? How about email? I really don't like web based email. I prefer to download my email to Outlook Express. I like the Outlook Express layout, and the ease in creating folders and mail rules. Can I download my email on the Mac? I'll probably come up with lots more questions. But, these are the ones I've been really wondering about for quite some time. Thanks, Karen P -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

The only porlbem is that Voiceover currently has trouble with tables in files, but we're all hoping that will be fixed in the next major OS10 update due out in a few weeks. How about email?

Can I download my email on the Mac? The Mc's Mail app is really nice and handles multiple email accounts in a great interface. Rules, folders and so on are all easily set up. I'll probably come up with lots more questions. But, these are the ones I've been really wondering about for quite some time. Keep them coming.

Re: New to the list, with lots of questions
Hi there As I said in a post I wrote one time on file management, that was my biggest problem is switching to the Mac. As an experienced computer user, it took me about two weeks to get used to the Mac. It's not that file management is hard, it's just enough different that I had a little trouble until I figure out how to handle it better. So when you get there, if you get there, let us know. Of course, everybody handles things differently, but it might be better if you make your switch before your Windows computer is gone completely. This is because if you have any projects that you have to get done desperately like the next day, it will cut down on your stress level in the first two or three weeks. However, if you think that you will tend to gravitate to your Windows computer instead of learning, then this might not be a good thing. I have avoided this like the plague, but it is possible to install windows on a Macintosh computer. Some people on this list have done this, and they may want to tell you if that's a good thing for you to do.

Re: New to the list, with lots of questions
The question to ask yourself is, why am I considering switching to a Mac? Like you, I am a K1000 user and also a Window Eyes user.I'm not a power user of Word either, but I love the simplicity of printing directly to my Index embosser from within Word just by accessing the Duxbury item in Word's menu and embossing directly from there. No hassle. No 3 programs to switch among and mess with. As was mentioned, Duxbury is apparently working on a Mac version of their program. What will its capability and accessibility be, especially since Word on the Mac is inaccessible? Will it work with Text Edit or Pages? Nobody knows, but one thing we do know: it won't be free. And you already own the Windows version. I don't know how many of the K1000 features you take advantage of. But I can say without doubt that there is no equivalent on the Mac side. There are solutions, and one or another might meet your needs, depending on what those are. But since you've already paid the money for K1000, what prompts you to want to switch? You could consider running Windows on a Mac, either via bootcamp, the solution I chose, or via VMWare Fusion. I bought my Mac 4 years ago with the hope that, by the time my Windows xp machine had to go, scanning and word processing and embossing would have matured to the level they are on Windows for blind users. Such is not the case, which is why I am sticking with Windows for some things. If you are not one of the I hate Microsoft ideologs, who want to use a Mac because they can and because they just plain don't like MS, then consider carefully before you decide to take on a whole new os with its attendant learning curve. If you're moving to a Mac because you will save money on screen readers, consider that the machine alone is liable to cost you more than a pc, and that you could put that savings towards the cost of keeping up your screen reader subscription, or you could try the NVDA screen reader, which is free and quite good for lots of things. I'm not saying Macs are bad. I'm not saying they're not a good solution for somebody who doesn't have an investment in Windows applications that are specialized, like K1000 and a screen reader. I'm just suggesting that you should analyze your needs and why you are considering the switch. I love the Apple mail program. I can't compare it with Outlook Express, because I never used that program. Good luck with the decision.\ \ Mary Mary Otten motte...@gmail.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: adding large amount of new contacts from list?
Yes, exactly. When I send to this group, the message should go to everyone. Ideally all addresses would be hidden from recipients, but that is not a priority.

New to the list and have a few questions
Hey everyone, My name is Tyler. Picked myself a macbook pro 15 core i7 about 6 months ago. Have had nothing but good luck with it, and now that I finally have gotten used to the thing I have a few questions. 1. How do you use dropbox? Or actually, how can't we use it? I thought there was a way around that with the window chooser, but am I wrong now? I have it set up on my virtual machine as of right now, though it keeps telling me it cannot access dropbox folder even though things are being uploaded and downloaded. 2. This is more my main question because I'm really not happy. I bought audio highjack pro, and was able to highjack system audio, which was really my goal all along - so I could broadcast said audio to skype. I installed soundflower, which is required to go along with it. I eventually bought it, and soon after that things went a bit haywire... I updated it, (probably a bad mistake) and it told me to instal the extra instant on. Well ok, I figured this must be some new king of thing. Suddenly, highjack doesn't work. If I highjack system audio I get nothing, and the person I'm trying to demonstrate on skype isn't hearing a thing iether. Ok, fine. I tried highjacking just one application - vlc, to be exact - and I also got nothing. So ok. I downgraded to my previous version, and from then on have had nothing but problems with the thing. If I try and highjack system audio now, I lose all sounds including voiceover. If I navigate out of the window to see if it worked (I did this multiple times, ugh) and I couldn't get back to the highjack checkbox, all sounds were lost and when I hard booted the thing, I got nothing until I went to system preferences, interacted with the preferenace pain and hit so quick. Then hoped like heck I could find internal speakers/headphones. All of this done with no speech. I tried uninstalling audio highjack pro and soundflower completely, going as far as removing them from .com.apple etc. So now I'm lost...what do I do from here? Can I access soundflower somehow, did I do something wrong? I just want this to be able to work, but I can't highjack anything, including other programs. 3. Ok, I saw some chat about this in the archives but I'm still unclear. How exactly do you use caffeine? I heard there were multiple ways to go about it, but I'm still unclear on how exactly this is accomplished. I got told I could use insomnia x by hitting vo m three times, using the trackpad to find the menu bar for it. That, however, failed. I couldn't find anything and still can't to this day when I open it. So this is getting rather annoying - all I want to do is close the lid of this thing when I'm chatting on skype so I don't bash it into something one of these days and scratch it's beautiful finish... I would also like to take the time here to thank Rick Harmon and Mike Arrigo. They were the main reason I made the purchas and I don't regret it in the slightest, $2150 or not. Probably the most stable peace of technology I've ever owned, and my windows laptop and windows netbook have a lot of dust on them. Also, the battery life, for being a core i7, is finominal. I have a few other questions, but I think I've rambled on enough. thanks in advance - by the way, am always up for a chat - my contact info is below. skype: the_conman283 msn is the same - just with @hotmail.com at the end. twitter: http://www.twitter.com/wolfman1360 - Tyler -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

New To The List
Hi all. I'm sereously considering switching over to the mac and also will be getting an iPhone when it becomes available on my network. I've been following Apple's progress with voice-over since the beta of Tiger. Apple are an amazing company for putting all this effort into making their products so accessible. admittedly I believe the prices are a bit steep, but you certainly get what you pay for I think. I'll be getting an iMac as I'll want to use a better soundcard for music production. I will also run windows on it so I can use sonar, or I will just use my existing windows machine for audio work. I haven't decided yet, although having everything on one machine will mean less clutter. I love the wireless keyboard, but I wish it had a number pad, so I'll order the wired one instead. Also, having to use the fn key plus the arrow keys to act as the six pack would frustrate me. I have a couple of questions. I had the chance to try the new macbook with the multi-touch trackpad over the weekend and was very impressed. After having getting used to it, I was able to read webpages in safari fairly well using the flick method. does any of you know if that technology will find it's way onto the iMac either through use of a touchscreen or by a trackpad integrated into the keyboard? Secondly, how accessible is garage band or logic with voice-over? Or am I best sticking with sonar for the time being?

Re: New To The List
Hi, I definitely don't think Apple's prices are that bed. Hell, you have Windows laptops that cost that much, and that's basic. At least, the prices in my country are stupidly high for a Windows computer. And then, of course, I have to pay even more money to get a screen reader if I don't already have one. Which is about $1000 for a JAWS pro, 250 or so bucks for the SMA update. I think Apple's prices are fairly reasonable when you consider that part. Not to mention you need an SMA every time a new JAWS version is released if your current authorization doesn't cover the newest version. Besides, which Windows computer can you actually install literally from scratch? Just for those reasons alone, it's worth it. I realize I'm only picking on JAWS, but I won't even mention Window-Eyes apparently charging $39.95 for a trial license. It might not seem like much, but I still think that's outrageous, considering it's a trial, and you might not even like the application. I've said my piece about pricing. :). To me, that's worth a price that even a Windows laptop can beat in my country. Granted, you can use NVDA on Windows, but it might not be as advanced as the commercially available screen readers. In my opinion, VoiceOver already surpassed those by a long-shot. That's just my opinion, though. And that is technically a free solution, since you are not required to pay for SMAs or any of that annoying stuff. I personally think Apple should be commended for their commitment to accessibility to a system from the ground up, no additional software required. No Video Intercept issues *cough*. Concerning that last comment, I don't want to slam Windows. Just thought I'd mention that as well, since I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had issues with it. Good night everybody.

Re: New IPhone 3GS list regarding accessibility
Hi, I think the iPod is different than the iPhone. The iPhone is a much more dynamic platform and I think that there could be many messages about the iPhone both at the release and then over time. There is certainly a group of people on the current list that are only Mac users and may not want the bother of all the iPhone related traffic.

But if that's what people want, that's fine with me. I'd agree that too many lists on similar topics can fragment things but it's also good to have choices. If this is in fact, fine with you, then why, might I ask are you so upset?… :) Has there been a request for a separate list for IPhone? (See above) Simon, and All, please know that as list mod, I will do whatever is the best fit for this list as a whole. This, however, might rub some the wrong way. -But I'll do what's necessary to help the list run smoothly for all of us, or as many as possible, not just a few of us. Thanks for your note and have a nice weekend!… Sincerely, Cara :) Best wishes Simon On 12 Jun 2009, at 21:47, Cara Quinn wrote: Hello All; I've just started a list called VIPhone, (Visually Impaired - IPhone) on GoogleGroups to discuss the new Apple IPhone 3GS. the url is: http://groups.google.com/group/VIPhone Please feel free to share this url anywhere you like, to anyone you feel might want to discuss this sort of thing.

Re: New IPhone 3GS list regarding accessibility
I don't have a problem with a seperate iphone list. I can see where both sides are comeing from, but I don't have a problem either way.

In my case I just send everything from vo-bs, macvoiceover and macvisionaries to the same mailbox using a rule, so many times I don't even pay attention to the list I'm reading. So the iPhone list will probably go to that mailbox too. This works great for me. On Jun 12, 2009, at 6:28 PM, Justin Harford wrote: HiI would like to see a separate list for iphone discussions.
