Re: introduction and questions about switching to mac
You could also consider Nisus Writer Pro as a word processor, and iPal OCR from Humanware is coming to the Mac in September to work in conjunction with their iPal document camera.

Re: introduction and questions about switching to mac
On the chat side, you can download Adium which will let you connect to MSN, Yahoo, Google, Facebook etc or if you only need GoogleTalk then use the built in iChat program. If you still get stuck with anything you can always install Fusion or use boot camp to run Windows on your Mac.

Re: IBraille
HI Mary, Have you tried doing your stuff in text edit and then translating and embossing with louis? That should work, even if it is a little cumbersome. It's tough to defend index. They are not exactly on the cutting edge of software development on any platform. But I suspect that it's stagnated in part because very few people reported using it. I suggest that any one who is using an index on their mac dash off an email to the index people, and cc the accessibility department at apple, since they were in on it apparently. Show some demand and we will get an update next year, hopefully.

Re: IBraille
I used to have one, but I can't find it now. You can try the support form on the website, but there's a catchca on it so good luck. Unless some one beats me to it, I'll call index tomorrow, pull the access technology trainer card, bitch about the catchca in as friendly a manner as possible, and wiggle and email address out of them.

storage areas
Hi guys, When in textedit, how do I find the storage areas? There's a command that takes you to a list where you need to arrow up and down to locate the different areas like document, hard drive, external storage etc etc. What is that command please? Thanks.

Re: IBraille
Hi Mary, Wow I'm familiar with Wyn Braille. Wow that sounds like a cool concept, but it's a shame they haven't updated the product in a wile. I hope that you can get Index to update their software. I wonder if there is a translation program for the Mac that works with the Juliet. Hmm, I will have to check in to that. Thank you for all your helpful info on Braille displays. I hope to have the Handytech display soon. Have a great day. Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar!

Re: command g is not working in vm fusion
The prompt in my version of Fusion has a capital G in it. That appears to mean that the command is command+shift+g. If that doesn't work, you can hit command+control+return to go to full screen mode. You will be typing in windows at that point. Onward!

MacVisionaries disappearing Act
Dear List, I'm feeling a little unwanted by Google Groups and MacVisionaries in particular. On occasion for no reason I can figure out I stop getting messages from MacVisionaries and then after some time, in this last case about a week, the messages start showing up again. The changes do not happen when I try to fix settings at the Manage Subscriptions area. My efforts there seem to make no difference. Now that I have received the last five or so messages I'm hoping I'm wanted again. Anyone else have this happen and know how to solve the problem. Or, is it really just me? eRic Caron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: IBraille
Hi Eric, I'm not familiar with Louis. I remember hearing something about it on one or another Mac-related list a while back; thought I heard it worked under Leopard or tiger or something, but I am probably confused. Hadn't thought of that. Most of the documents I need to emboss come from others, and they are always produced in word. I suppose as long as the items are straight forward, text Edit ought to do a decent job of preserving document attributes, so I suppose its worth looking into this Louis deal. I do certainly plan to try to contact Index and ask them to upgrade their product. Its kind of embarrassing to have them advertising this as such a breakthrough, and here it is going on 4 years old and has some pretty glaring deficiencies.

Re: show hidden files?
Are you talking about dot files like .hidden_filename? If so then there is no way short of some hackery to get them to show. You can turn on showing file name extensions.

Re: show hidden files?
Or go to terminal and paste defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles ON but modifying finder preferences under the hood is still hackery, of the good kind :) That said, why would you want to see all the .hidden files in the finder?

ot: new apple security issues.
given some of the issues folks are having with safari and some other third party programs, I am sharing the following two articles. It is not apple itself, but the extras, often constructed to work better with windows, that are causing allot of this. still the bit about safari bugs me. Kare http://jeremiahgrossman.blogspot.com/2010/07/i-know-who-your-name-where-you-work-and.html I know who your name, where you work, and live (Safari v4 & v5) Right at the moment a Safari user visits a website, even if they've never been there before or entered any personal information, a malicious website can uncover their first name, last name, work place, city, state, and email address. Safari v4 & v5, with a combined market browser share of 4% (~83 million users), has a feature (Preferences > AutoFill > AutoFill web forms) enabled by default. Essentially we are hacking auto-complete functionality. http://arstechnica.com/security/news/2010/07/apple-the-new-world-leader-in-software-insecurity.ars Apple the new world leader in software insecurity By Peter Bright Apple has displaced Oracle as the company with the most security vulnerabilities in its software, according to security company Secunia. Over the first half of 2010, Apple had more reported flaws than any other vendor. Microsoft retains its third-place spot. Secunia has tracked security vulnerabilities and issues advisories since 2002, producing periodic reports on the state of software. Together, the top ten vendors account for some 38% of all flaws reported. Though this does not necessarily mean that Apple's software is the most insecure in practice---the report takes no consideration of the severity of the flaws---it points at a growing trend in the world of security flaws: the role of third-party software. Many of Apple's flaws are not in its operating system, Mac OS X, but rather in software like Safari, QuickTime, and iTunes. Vendors like Adobe (with Flash and Adobe Reader) and Oracle (with Java) are similarly responsible for many of the flaws being reported. To illustrate this point, the report includes cumulative figures for the number of vulnerabilities found on a Windows PC with the 50 most widely-used programs. Five years ago, there were more first-party flaws (in Windows and Microsoft's other software) than third-party. Since about 2007, the balance shifted towards third-party programs. This year, third-party flaws are predicted to outnumber first-party flaws by two-to-one. Secunia also makes a case that effectively updating this third-party software is much harder to do; whereas Microsoft's Windows Update and Microsoft Update systems will provide protection for around 35% of reported vulnerabilities, patching the remainder requires the use of 13 or more updating systems. Some vendors---Apple, Mozilla, and Google, for example---do have decent automatic update systems, but others require manual intervention by the user. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Show hidden files?
Hello again everyone. I'm sorry, but I forgot to mention a couple of things in my last message. Some text editors will let you edit hidden files and the contents of hidden directories without having to resort to a shell command. One such is Smultron, which is a free text and source code editor. It doesn't seem to be in active development any longer, but it will allow the editing of hidden files. Its web site is http://smultron.sourceforge.net/ Another alternative is SubEthaEdit, although that one costs about $30 US, I think. In case anyone is interested, its web site is http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/ However, the last time I used it, it seemed to cause some kind of conflict with iCal which prevented me from viewing or updating my appointments.

Alert: Do not update to new version of Dragon Dictation app -- accessibility issues
Hi all, A new version of the Dragon Dictation app just showed up in the app store. Do not update to this version; nearly all the buttons are now announced as "Var mobile applicat". Further, although it is possible to still dictate text if you simply remember the location of the earlier buttons, there is a new screen with 6 options to relay on the text (e.g., email, SMS, twitter, facebook, or copy and settings) and all the buttons are announced as "Var mobile applicat". If anyone has updated this app, do not empty your trash. Save the old version of the app in your iTunes library. Some other users may want to try this out (keeping a working version of the app on their computer to restore), so that we can send feedback to the developer, Nuance.
