Hi list,
Something is really wrong with terminal.
It just acts completely randomly when i type in legitimate commands. Sometimes
it accepts my directory queries, sometimes it just stays in the same directory
even though i made the right command, no syntax error or anything. This is

Yuma,
I got a kick out of that blog entry about the macbook pro and how to make it
blind interesting. man, some of the technology concepts you are talking about
are definitely right out of star trek. I hope we get there soon. it would be
interesting to experience a computer in that fashion.
Hi Eric,
Thanks for that comment, i sincerely wish we're gonna get some upcoming
technologies integrated into the new mac lines too.
For one, just waiting on that senseg technology to come through with their
haptic touchscreen conductive sheets. That's when we can start increasing our
haptic technology. that would be a plus.
I am not sure than regenerating neural tissue is doable (my eyes have both
damaged retinas and damaged optic nerves due to a massive intra-ocular
infection). on top of it all, I am cortically blind due to a brain injury a

Hi all,
Just back from the local Apple retailer. I had anticipated having a Mac
Mini under my arm at this point, so I am a little surprised (and
probably a little disappointed too) that I have returned home empty-handed.
I had gone to the store to see how the Mac would perform with a

Thanks for that, I actually prefer using Command+Down arrow to open

Hi Ray,
At the moment I still have enough residual sight to make using screen
magnification faster and less frustrating than a screen reader. That is
likely to change in the future, but at the rate things are moving right
now, I would guess that will be a few computers further down the road.

Does the Magic Thinkpad have any specific advantages or problems for a
