No it doesn't have a lock. the moment you put it on it will communicate with 
the device it's pared up too. That's what we use, even to find out something 
simple as the time, and it's instant. The nice thing about the on and off 
switch, if you're carrying it in a bag, there's not much chance of it 
accidently turning on and if you leave it all together as it comes when you 
prchase it, then of course with the lid which is very easy to raise up and 
down. With the lid down even with it  turned on there's no way to accidently 
hit any of the keys.

Hi,

I like the iClever folding keyboard.  It is fairly sturdy, and the keys 
are pretty easy to find.  I have trouble with many small keyboards, but 
the keys on this one are fairly well separated.

Re: bluetooth keyboard recommendation

Nene, the keyboard has an pplications key, though we're not sure exactly 
what it's called but I'll tell you the order of the keys that change other 
keys. Across the top of the keyboard here's what the keys are without any 
other key punch to modify them.
The very bottom left corner key will change the top row of keys. The accent 
key plus that left bottom button works like your home button and will take 
you out of whatever you're doing.1 plus the bottom left button becomes your 
down screen brightness button. 2 does the upscreen brightness. 3 plus the 
left button appears to brings you  back to page 2, no matter where you are 
it brings you back to mail. If you're in an app it will close it, and if you 
hit it again it will go back to the icon you have on top of the screen, for 
us it's mail, but it won't open the icon, very much like the home button 
would do. 5 with the left key, it switches input modes, such as imogi I 
might not be spelling that right, and for another mode english u. s. 6 we're 
not sure about this one. 7 wil pause and play. 8 seems to skip when you're 
playing something so possibly fast forwarding. 9 mutes and un mutes. 0 turns 
the volume down. next is iphen that turns the volume up. equals doesn't seem 
to be doing anything. The next key on the right of that left key is control, 
and going to the right of control, that's the options key, to the right of 
options is the comand key, then space, to the right of space is slash, then 
backslash, then left arrow, bottom arrow, right arrow and up arrow which is 
above the down arrow. going from the right bottom of the right side of the 
keyboard, going up you have the right arrow key in the very right corner, 
next one up is shift, and above that is enter, the next key up is delete, 
and the top right corner is equals. and This is what you've been waiting 
for, above all the keyboard keys you'll have a slider, slide to the right 
and you're keyboard is turned on. Continue on over to the right edge of the 
keyboard and you have the usb charging port. just to the left of the on/off 
switch is a little button you push to pare the keyboard, it will pop 
numbers up in the device you're trying to pare up too. Just type that number 
in and you're pared up. The control and options key held down together will 
do certain things such as, for example while holding down the control and 
options key and tapping the spacebar opens whatever app you're on. I don't 
know how this would work with fingerprint identification, but when you're on 
the home button, the control and options held down with tapping the 8 key 
will be like tapping your home button. There's so much you can do here, so 
since we mainly use the phone more than the keyboard we don't know quite all 
you can do with all of this. For the person that asked about the f-5 it 
doesn't seem to have it. We're thinking this keyboard wasn't designed to be 
used with a desktop, not that you couldn't but we did everything we know to 
do, but that f-5 doesn't seem to be available.

Yup, the black webb has the number keys at the top of the keyboard where
number keys usually are, and these number keys double as controls when
you're listening to audio and video media, such controls as  play, rewind
and so on. It's a true apple keyboard so it doesn't have the function keys
that you would have on a window keyboard. This keyboard was designed to 
work

with the ipad mini, but it works so well with the se phones. We mainly
navigate on the screen with our fingers, but really like using this 
keyboard
with the phone. It's a very sturdy keyboard and is about the size of an 
ipad
mini. The things we like about it, the on and off switch, if the keyboard 
is

off, if you accidentally touch your keyboard it won't wake it up. For
example if you had the keyboard close by you at night,  and I want my $400
clock to just tell me the time, I just slide the little power button on, 
and

then you just use your back and forth arrow key so your $400 clock and
calendar can tell you the time and date from the clock and the calendar 
and

if you wake up enough to read email and get other notifications and more.

Re: podcast appearance

Hi All,

Just to wrap this around in a positive note, please do remember my name as I 
don't use this gmail account for any official marketing or other emails. I stay 
quite informal about things when in macvisionaries or viphone, meaning that I 
don't find it really necessarry to paste a full signature etc, but provide just 
the essential. 

I do agree that I could have added a few more paragraphs. Perhaps the engineer 
in me just keeps it basic, and the enthusiast in me thinks everyone will get 
the sincerity of my tone from the get go.

In any case, bygones are bygones and I'm happy to get the replies and the email 
contacts to start distributing the beta for improving the experience.

I will write a second email in regards to the improvements and some background 
on the app.

As Mark pointed out, spam isn't new on this list and while he does a great job 
getting rid of anything which does make it through, it does happen.

trying to help.
Having said all that, I hope we can just put this behind us as a

RE: Sonos problem

Hi marie,

Subject: RE: Sonos problem

That would be exactly what the problem is. You will probably need sighted 
assistance to turn them back on, maybe Be My Eyes might work. I should suggest 
to Be My Eyes that they approach Sonos and see if they are interested in 
participating in their program where you can connect to their tech support via 
Be My Eyes, then somebody could probably direct you to press the correct spot 
on top of the speaker in no time.
Also, I highly recommend you ask a sighted friend or family member to halp 
youput some tactile markings on top of the speaker so you know where to press 
for volume, play/pause and where the button is which mutes the microphones. I 
must say Sonos should have thought of this and 3-dimensional markings should 
have been put there as part of the manufacturing process, it could have been 
done in a way that it wold not have taken away from the clean look they 
apparently wanted, just a slightly raised circle for play/pause and a greater 
than and less than symbol for volume up and down and maybe a square or an X for 
muting the speakers.
Marie, if you don’t have anybody you can ask or don’t use Be my Eyes send me an 
email directly to siegh...@live.ca and we can set up a time for a Facetime call 
and my wife can see if she can direct your finger to push the right button.
In the meantime, I just asked her to show me and the button to toggle the 
microphones on and off is right in the middle and almost at the very back if 
you are standing in front of the speaker.
So, stand in front of your Sonos One, put both hands on each side and near the 
back, then try to touch in the middle and maybe a fingers width from the back 
edge. If you hear the sound Alexa makes when  you ask it something it’s not the 
right spot, if you hear another sound, more like a two-tone gurgle (not sure 
how I can describe it) you hit the right spot, just keep saying “Alexa” and see 
if there is a reaction. I would also make sure you first play something and 
pause it using the app because if you touch/tap and the music starts playing 
you are way to far to the front, the play/pause is also in the middle 
referenced from the left and right edges, but much further to the front of the 
speaker. That is also where volume up and own is, to the left and right of 
play/pause, but not nearly as far in the back.
Feel free to email me or you can call me using Facetime Audio and the email 
address I gave above, at least I can listen and tell you if you hit the right 
spot.

Good luck,

2018-08-11 Thread Jewel

A little time ago, I asked a question on this list re a word I had read as one 
of the clues in an 
April 2013 puzzle in Seven Little Words.  The word was astrovolcano.
I received only one reply and that was from Bill Garrick who suggested that, 
perhapsan astrovolcano 
was a burst of light from outer space: akin to  the Arora Borealis/Australis:  
a very good 
suggestion but, I think, one, for all its merrits,  was wrong.
Upon further research, it seems to me that BlueOx who are, I believe, the 
developers of the game, 
made it up as I cannot find that actual word in Google.  The closest I can get 
is stratavolcano, the 
type of volcano that was, and, I think may still be, playing merry hell in 
Hawaii!
BTW:  the solution to the astrovolcano clue is Alaska's Katmai, a nature 
reserve and bear/bison 
preservation area.

Re: bluetooth keyboard recommendation

Andy, you can tell the keys on this keyboard. You could feel the inditations 
between the keys, which is a bit smaller and narrower inditation than on our 
computer keyboards which I've noticed since I'm typing on my computer's 
keyboard now. So you could easily tell the letters apart on this black webb 
bluetooth keyboard, the inditations between the keys are just a bit smaller and 
narrower and closer compared to the inditations and separate ness of the keys 
on our computer keyboards and the f and j keys are clearly marked and easy to 
feel and locate. What you made me think of, is you know how on some of the 
button phones you almost can't tell the difference  between the keys on the 
number pad, due to the inditations between the keys being really faint? This 
keyboard's inditation isn't faint like that, you would be able to feel the 
inditation that separateness of the keys. This keyboard has a hinged cover/lid, 
that when open you could place an ipad mini in the lid , in fact it has a round 
cut out for the camera, headphones, power, up down volume and speaker. These 
cut outs are very neat and non intrusive. We have more than one of these 
keyboards, and as we did with one of them, if you didn't want the lid on there  
with a  tiny screw driver you could remove the 2 tiny screws and the lid will 
come off. Actually we have more than one of these keyboards, we have one of 
these keyboards with the lid on and the other one with the lid off, and we like 
to use them either way. Placing the ipad in the cover  doesn't seem that sturdy 
even though this keyboard was designed to use with an ipad. The nice thing 
about having the ipad in the lid is that you can fold it all up together. We're 
writing this message together. Wayne was thinking about figuring out some ways 
to have the ipad placed in the lid to be more secure than it seems to be. If 
you were really careful and you were using an ipad in the lid it would probably 
be fine. Of course this will work with an ipad without placing it in the lid.In 
spite of that we really like using our se phones with this keyboard. When the 
keyboard is open, it's pretty think but really sturdy, the thickness is like 
the thickness of holding 2 pocket slates pus half the thickness of a 3rd slate 
so in other words the thickness of the keyboard is just a little less than the 
thickness of 3 slates held together. The keyboard is so sturdy,  either a thick 
book board or board slate kind of sturdy, as in even a thick piece of wood. 
It's so strong for something this thin it won't budge around as you're typing. 
No flimsiness here. If you have any other questions just ask.

2018-08-11 Thread Christopher Chaltain

I get where Sieghard is coming from, but I'd suggest that he could have 
just not assumed the worst and just asked some questions for more 
information, such as "Before I click on anything could you tell us a 
little bit more about ...?" Alternatively, he could have also just hit 
the delete button. On the other side, I'd say Yuma could just try to 
ignore the negativity in Sieghard's message and see that he is asking 
for more information which would be good to see on the list.

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, is anyone interested in a podcast interview about how they see the 
ssky as being, if they learn aspects of space, planets and other objects we 
can't see as blind people in the sky. I have a podcast series that covers 3D 
programming for audio, and related technologies.

I am co-founder of Oseyeris, and have been working on an app so I can 
understand where the planets are, how they cycle around me in the real world, 
as astronomy and physics are something I am passionate about.

Second, I would like to invite you to test a star gazing app for the blind.

Please follow this link, and put your name on the email list. if already 
subscribed, your test flight will be sent very shortly.

I am very interested in hearing your opinions about how stars should be represented, 
though I have laid out the initial audio "feel" of space.

Re: Accessibility of scribd and bookshare

2018-08-11 Thread Richard Turner

I had never heard of Scribd, so I cannot assist there.
Bookshare is a fabulous resource here in the United States!
I use VoiceDream Reader for Bookshare books. I too am surprised the books are 
not available in the UK.
But, if the Marrakesh treaty does finally get enacted, Bookshare is the best 
resource for books in my opinion. They often get the books from the publisher, 
so they are available on bookshare the same time they are available in hard 
copy.

I am totally baffled by the Learning Ally application. I don't seem to have any 
control over whether I can skip by Page or story for instance in a collection 
of short stories. I did find a button and the audio menu which shifts me into a 
different view, one that's preferable but once there I still can't find a way 
to get back to my bookshelf. This is not it all the way it was structured quite 
sometime ago so I'm not sure what I'm missing here. I just updated the app 
today and it still is not offering me very many options. Is there a 
instructional file so that I can figure out how best to use this app? Deidre

Re: bluetooth keyboard recommendation

Pam, where can you purchase the i clever keyboard? I've heard of it before 
since other listers mentioned it. We got this portable fold up keyboard 
called something like zack from verizon. We're not too crazy about it. It's 
not that sturdy and while it folds up to a smaller size it's kind of long, 
that wouldn't make it so portable for some people.

Subject: RE: Sonos problem

That would be exactly what the problem is. You will probably need sighted 
assistance to turn them back on, maybe Be My Eyes might work. I should suggest 
to Be My Eyes that they approach Sonos and see if they are interested in 
participating in their program where you can connect to their tech support via 
Be My Eyes, then somebody could probably direct you to press the correct spot 
on top of the speaker in no time.

Also, I highly recommend you ask a sighted friend or family member to halp 
youput some tactile markings on top of the speaker so you know where to press 
for volume, play/pause and where the button is which mutes the microphones. I 
must say Sonos should have thought of this and 3-dimensional markings should 
have been put there as part of the manufacturing process, it could have been 
done in a way that it wold not have taken away from the clean look they 
apparently wanted, just a slightly raised circle for play/pause and a greater 
than and less than symbol for volume up and down and maybe a square or an X for 
muting the speakers.

Marie, if you don’t have anybody you can ask or don’t use Be my Eyes send me an 
email directly to siegh...@live.ca and we can set up a time for a Facetime call 
and my wife can see if she can direct your finger to push the right button.

In the meantime, I just asked her to show me and the button to toggle the 
microphones on and off is right in the middle and almost at the very back if 
you are standing in front of the speaker.

So, stand in front of your Sonos One, put both hands on each side and near the 
back, then try to touch in the middle and maybe a fingers width from the back 
edge. If you hear the sound Alexa makes when  you ask it something it’s not the 
right spot, if you hear another sound, more like a two-tone gurgle (not sure 
how I can describe it) you hit the right spot, just keep saying “Alexa” and see 
if there is a reaction. I would also make sure you first play something and 
pause it using the app because if you touch/tap and the music starts playing 
you are way to far to the front, the play/pause is also in the middle 
referenced from the left and right edges, but much further to the front of the 
speaker. That is also where volume up and own is, to the left and right of 
play/pause, but not nearly as far in the back.

Feel free to email me or you can call me using Facetime Audio and the email 
address I gave above, at least I can listen and tell you if you hit the right 
spot.

 

Good luck,

listening to audio and video media, such controls as  play, rewind and so on. 
It's a true apple keyboard so it doesn't have the function keys that you would 
have on a window keyboard. This keyboard was designed to work with the ipad 
mini, but it works so well with the se phones. We mainly navigate on the screen 
with our fingers, but really like using this keyboard with the phone. It's a 
very sturdy keyboard and is about the size of an ipad mini. The things we like 
about it, the on and off switch, if the keyboard is off, if you accidentally 
touch your keyboard it won't wake it up. For example if you had the keyboard 
close by you at night,  and I want my $400 clock to just tell me the time, I 
just slide the little power button on, and then you just use your back and 
forth arrow key so your $400 clock and calendar can tell you the time and date 
from the clock and the calendar and if you wake up enough to read email and get 
other notifications and more.

Travis, one of the bluetooth keyboards we have is the black webb keyboard. 
It says it was made for the ipad, but we use it with our se iphones, and 
it's really great to use with our phones, and you could buy it at Walmart 
for $20. It's a very sturdy feeling keyboard, and we both enjoy typing on 
it.

Thanks. I have a Logitech wireless keyboard, and am fine with it. I'll watch 
prices as I don't want to spend $100 for certain on it. I'm seeing bluetooth 
keyboards on Amazon for as low as $13.99, but the more expensive ones do 
seem to be rated higher overall.

Yup, the black webb has the number keys at the top of the keyboard where 
number keys usually are, and these number keys double as controls when 
you're listening to audio and video media, such controls as  play, rewind 
and so on. It's a true apple keyboard so it doesn't have the function keys 
that you would have on a window keyboard. This keyboard was designed to work 
with the ipad mini, but it works so well with the se phones. We mainly 
navigate on the screen with our fingers, but really like using this keyboard 
with the phone. It's a very sturdy keyboard and is about the size of an ipad 
mini. The things we like about it, the on and off switch, if the keyboard is 
off, if you accidentally touch your keyboard it won't wake it up. For 
example if you had the keyboard close by you at night,  and I want my $400 
clock to just tell me the time, I just slide the little power button on, and 
then you just use your back and forth arrow key so your $400 clock and 
calendar can tell you the time and date from the clock and the calendar and 
if you wake up enough to read email and get other notifications and more.

Travis, one of the bluetooth keyboards we have is the black webb keyboard. 
It says it was made for the ipad, but we use it with our se iphones, and 
it's really great to use with our phones, and you could buy it at Walmart 
for $20. It's a very sturdy feeling keyboard, and we both enjoy typing on 
it.

Thanks. I have a Logitech wireless keyboard, and am fine with it. I'll watch 
prices as I don't want to spend $100 for certain on it. I'm seeing bluetooth 
keyboards on Amazon for as low as $13.99, but the more expensive ones do 
seem to be rated higher overall.

Re: cannot buy Kindle books using the Amazon app

2018-08-11 Thread Arnold Schmidt

I am sure Amazon would love to sell Kindle books through the Kindle and Amazon 
apps, but they aren't willing to pay Apple I think it is about30 percent. 
After all, Apple wants you to buy  and read  that book  through IBooks.

As far as I've known, there hasn't been a button to purchase from the app ever. 
The issue is that if an app sells something, then Apple gets a portion, and so 
Amazon directs you to its website.

Bi14 experiences?

2018-08-11 Thread Mary Otten

Hi all,
I have a humanware bei14 on loan for a week or two. I like the compactness, but 
I just haven’t been able so far to get used to having so few cells. Especially 
with word wrap I guess, where sometimes, several cells are blank because the 
next whole word won’t fit on the line. I also don’t quite understand how the 
notes feature works. I have entered both my Google and Comcast accounts into 
the brailliant device. But I’m not sure what happens next. I have read the 
manual. My other comment is that I preferred the keyboard on the older 
humanware braille displays. The typing keys on this one are to my way of 
thinking, mushy. I’m thinking I probably won’t buy it, but I do want to give it 
a fair chance. I like the price, and I like the idea of having notetaking 
ability which I could, or not, sync up with my phone. But I’m just not getting 
the mechanics of it I guess.
Mary

A couple of years ago I purchased a Logitech K810, I’ve

Re: Voicedream Dropbox Issue

2018-08-11 Thread englishrider91

That's so weird! I have no issues with VDR and Dropbox. It's some other apps 
that have issues with Dropbox for me, like Capti. It won't display things in 
alphabetical order. VDR has no issues with this, though, or with missing files. 
Strange. I get what people are saying about not wanting to delete the app, 
though. I've been copying book titles with the 3-finger quadrupal tap and 
putting the text into a long note in the Notes app. I'm doing this so that I 
can turn off cloud sync. Ever since I turned that on, VDR have gotten extremely 
sluggish, freezes a ton, and at the worst, dumps me back onto my home screen. 
It's awful. I wish he'd come out with a feature to manually back up your 
library to Dropbox, like you could with iTunes file sharing. I say manually 
because with the cloud sync feature, something's always syncing and slowing VDR 
down to glacial speeds. If doing it over iTunes file sharing actually worked, 
I'd do it, but it doesn't. I get an empty library when I try. Anyhow, I hope 
your Dropbox issue gets fixed.


Thanks,
Ari

Re: podcast appearance

Also sieghard,

If you don't have the intuition to click elsewhere from the contact form, 
here's the website at the lab page:

https://www.oseyeris.com/the-lab

The lab page has a lot of info on how I went about working on the star gazing 
app.

I'm just putting this in case people think I'm going to try and extort money 
from them or whatever your assumptions are.

In this page will appear the blog and podcast on the star gazer, as a 
discussion on how it can be made better, what features people would want 
outside those I have thought out with my team, etc.

Cheers

Re: podcast appearance

Hi sieghard,

By definition a co founder is someone who founded a startup I'm the blind guy 
in the duo, and I do all the different software architectures for the team. I 
also do a podcast series on coding for 3D sound and audio using the swift 
language and X-code. I'm based in Brisbane, and I think a few users on this 
list know me, including Cara Quinn and mark.

 I have been a member of macvisionaries since 2010 and this list has greatly 
helped, especially in terms of mac stuff. 

If you don't want to click on the link, and first check out what I actually do, 
including the research to make this app possible, it's your right, but I'll ask 
you not to start treating or accusing me of some kind of scam or bad intention 
from the get go, as this is purely an invitation to test out an app that allows 
blind people like myself to enjoy the skies in a few different and thoughtful 
ways.

If you're the new turf boss of this mailing list, good on you. I'm just a 
veteran here.

A++

As far as I've known, there hasn't been a button to purchase from the app ever. 
The issue is that if an app sells something, then Apple gets a portion, and so 
Amazon directs you to its website.

RE: Sonos problem

That would be exactly what the problem is. You will probably need sighted 
assistance to turn them back on, maybe Be My Eyes might work. I should suggest 
to Be My Eyes that they approach Sonos and see if they are interested in 
participating in their program where you can connect to their tech support via 
Be My Eyes, then somebody could probably direct you to press the correct spot 
on top of the speaker in no time.
Also, I highly recommend you ask a sighted friend or family member to halp 
youput some tactile markings on top of the speaker so you know where to press 
for volume, play/pause and where the button is which mutes the microphones. I 
must say Sonos should have thought of this and 3-dimensional markings should 
have been put there as part of the manufacturing process, it could have been 
done in a way that it wold not have taken away from the clean look they 
apparently wanted, just a slightly raised circle for play/pause and a greater 
than and less than symbol for volume up and down and maybe a square or an X for 
muting the speakers.
Marie, if you don’t have anybody you can ask or don’t use Be my Eyes send me an 
email directly to siegh...@live.ca and we can set up a 
time for a Facetime call and my wife can see if she can direct your finger to 
push the right button.
In the meantime, I just asked her to show me and the button to toggle the 
microphones on and off is right in the middle and almost at the very back if 
you are standing in front of the speaker.
So, stand in front of your Sonos One, put both hands on each side and near the 
back, then try to touch in the middle and maybe a fingers width from the back 
edge. If you hear the sound Alexa makes when  you ask it something it’s not the 
right spot, if you hear another sound, more like a two-tone gurgle (not sure 
how I can describe it) you hit the right spot, just keep saying “Alexa” and see 
if there is a reaction. I would also make sure you first play something and 
pause it using the app because if you touch/tap and the music starts playing 
you are way to far to the front, the play/pause is also in the middle 
referenced from the left and right edges, but much further to the front of the 
speaker. That is also where volume up and own is, to the left and right of 
play/pause, but not nearly as far in the back.
Feel free to email me or you can call me using Facetime Audio and the email 
address I gave above, at least I can listen and tell you if you hit the right 
spot.

Good luck,

RE: podcast appearance

First of all, you say you are co-founder of " Oseyeris", what exactly is that, 
it isn't exactly a word that is descriptive in nature.
Also, you say you are passionate about astronomy and physics, but you don't 
even start out your message by introducing yourself, you don't end with a 
salutation including your name and you are soliciting support for your Podcast 
and app without apparently having asked Mark or Cara if it is OK to do so. 
Given how often one is "invited" to do something these days I am certainly not 
clicking on your link to fill out a contact form and I hope others are smart 
enough not to do so. If you had started with a proper introduction and a

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, is anyone interested in a podcast interview about how they see the 
ssky as being, if they learn aspects of space, planets and other objects we 
can't see as blind people in the sky. I have a podcast series that covers 3D 
programming for audio, and related technologies.

I am co-founder of Oseyeris, and have been working on an app so I can 
understand where the planets are, how they cycle around me in the real world, 
as astronomy and physics are something I am passionate about.

Second, I would like to invite you to test a star gazing app for the blind.

Please follow this link, and put your name on the email list. if already 
subscribed, your test flight will be sent very shortly.

I am very interested in hearing your opinions about how stars should be 
represented, though I have laid out the initial audio "feel" of space.

Have a great day y'all

Oh ok, I didn't know that. This could be why I felt like I was: fighting with

  Hi all 
  
  Subject line says it all really. So I was wondering if there are any 
 folks on the list who uses the inbox app made by Google. I had some 
 questions that I would like to be able to understand. However, looking at 
 the help documentation doesn't, well help answer my questions about in 
 getting to grips on some of the features of this app. 
  
  Of course though, if no one here is using it, then it feels rather 
 pointless in asking. 
  
  Looking forward to hopefully, hearing from some Google Inbox users on the 
 IOS platform.

I suspect you may need to talk with apple to see if there is an issue with your
icloud.

Hi, Everyone.
I want to add books to VDR using the File Browser option but can't
seem to do it. The folders are all compressed and have been added to
the iCloud drive. I can see the zipped files when I look at the File
Browser option in VDR. I double-tap to select and the file is
selected, and the Waiting to Download message comes up. Nothing
happens from there.

I have tried using the Select button and have had no luck with that
route either. The file seems to be added, but can't be played.

I know the file is playable because I tried downloading the same file
to VDR through Dropbox and the file plays fine. But I'm trying to
migrate toward the Cloud so need to learn to get my files through the
File Browser option.

What am I missing? Please help this old dog learn a new trick.

Thanks,
Dani

If you do not see “account” at the top choose the updatetab. It should then

Re: bluetooth keyboard recommendation

That's interesting, Travis, round keys. I almost think that it would be 
confortable to type on, even if the keys are around. I'll get the model number 
as soon as I can for you, for the other one we have from walmart.

Arlene, thanks much. When we looked at WalMart out here, they didn't have

Travis, one of the bluetooth keyboards we have is the black webb keyboard. 
It says it was made for the ipad, but we use it with our se iphones, and it's 
really great to use with our phones, and you could buy it at Walmart for $20. 
It's a very sturdy feeling keyboard, and we both enjoy typing on it.

  Thanks. I have a Logitech wireless keyboard, and am fine with it. I'll 
watch prices as I don't want to spend $100 for certain on it. I'm seeing 
bluetooth keyboards on Amazon for as low as $13.99, but the more expensive ones 
do seem to be rated higher overall.
