Hi, Guys. I am wondering if there is any significance between Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper. Obviously, one is free and one costs $26. But do both have the smart backup feature? I'm trying to figure which to get, but I really want the smart backup feature so my backups to a USB drive won't t

Dear AUstin, Can you provide a concrete example of what happens when a line is truncated? It's easier to understand if I know what you're hearing, so to speak. I haven't noticed much odd in Terminal myself, but I don't use it all that regularly. Best, Zack. On Jul 23, 2011, at 10:45 AM, Austin

Hello, Yes, you and I are having the same issue. Whenever I open Safari, I prefer to have only my hope page open. But for some reason, it is now opening all the pages I had open the last time I quite Safari. As far as I can find, there is no setting to change that. The other little quirk I have

Truncating Lines in Terminal

I've noticed that terminal has begun truncating lines. If I use Vo-L I can hear the line, or if in an editor I can arrow up and down and hear it sometimes, but I wondered if anyone else has experienced this. I made sure I have the window at full size, and the program not in full screen. has anyo

Hey. Check out my post a day and a half ago about using mail with activities, I provide a good example there. Basically, you can set up hot spots to take you to the different parts of the mail view, and thanks to activities those hot spots only work within mail, making hot spots much more useful

Hi, all, Has anyone worked with assigning Braille keys yet in Lion? I was able to assign a few keys, but the command-b option for inputting the Braille keys doesn't seem to recognize most of my key-presses on the Focus 40 Blue. Any ideas? I'll be emailing this to accessibility at Apple, I'm afr

I think you hit on the problem, and I still have messages to read, so perhaps someone said this. Visibility seems to affect what shows up in the item chooser. Go to the top of a problem page and try it. Remember the number of items and some of the itemsthe in the list. Then go to the bottom and
