Re: What is RSS and Usenet
The rss information was a little incomplete because rss can also contain enclosures to podcasts as well as articles. Podcasts people subscribe to with rss as part of their url are actually carried by the rss protocol through enclosures.On Fri, 23 Apr 2010, Chris Blouch wrote: The site panix.com isn't charging extra for usenet access and has a pretty good selection of feeds too. USENET News is a very old service where folks can read and reply to messages in a thread using NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol). The discussions are broken down into topic and sub topics with dots inbetween such as comp.sys.mac.games or the like. Adding or removing topics is done through a moderation process and every post to a newsgroup server in one location is replicated to all the other ones. The content is generally not moderated so in recent years the topic areas have become rife with porn, spam and pirated software. Because of this, and the large volume of data on the comp.binaries branch, some service providers have decided to discontinue their usenet news servers or charge an additional fee for access. A newsgroup reader application allows your mac to 'subscribe' to one or more discussion branches so you can post or reply to messages, if you have access to a newsfeed server. An RSS feed reader is something else. A site can choose to publish a summary of changed articles in a specialized XML format, usually RSS or Atom. This file usually contains a time-ordered list of article titles and summaries to which you can subscribe. Any time the site adds a new article, a new entry is made in the 'feed' and your feed reader polls the site to let you know when there are updates. In theory the site could put the entire content of the article in the feed but usually the intent is to snack and click through to anything interesting. The feeds can also do pruning such as keeping only the latest 30 items in the feed or offering multiple feeds covering different areas on their site. Hope this helps.

RE: get iphone 3gs or iphone 4?
Speed, better / smoother use of VO, and the possibly beneficial apps like say text. Which works ok on the iphone 4, but as yet haven't had any luck on the 3gs. Having played with both, I'd say wait till the 4 comes out. The speed alone is worth while with vo. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Paul Erkens Sent: Sunday, 29 August 2010 5:41 a.m. To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: get iphone 3gs or iphone 4?

Re: bookshare books
Hi Merlinda, I was curious what you meant by "We will also add the speed adjustment and navigation by page features". The books are read using VoiceOver, so are you referring to the speed at which VoiceOver reads or speed at which the text flows across the screen? Are you all planning to add a separate text to speech option for InDaisy to read the text instead of VoiceOver? I just wanted to understand what you meant.

Re: get iphone 3gs or iphone 4?
Hi, I recommend waiting and getting an iPhone 4. I don't think it makes much sense to purchase something running last years technology unless you do so because of financial restraints. The iPhone 4 has double the RAM of a 3gs, a 38% faster processor, and a better battery. I think those are good enough reasons to go for the iPhone 4. hth On Aug 28, 2010, at 1:40 PM, Paul Erkens wrote: > Hi list, > > As the iphone 4 is now in the market, I'm wondering which to buy.

Re: bookshare books
Hi Scott, Thanks for asking. We plan to add narration speed adjustment for Daisy books that contains audio. This is because a number of people are requesting for it. We are also considering adding a separate text to speech option, as this can work with synchronized text highlighting of text only Daisy books. It would be good for people who needs it.

copying and pasting to SD card for VR stream
Hi everyone, I just went to the web site and read all the previous messages about the VR stream and how it is supposed to work with Itunes. I am having a lot of trouble copying and pasting to my SD card. I am going to ve very specific about what I am doing in the hopes that someone can help. Here goes: 1. I put my SD card in the card reader on my mac book pro 2. I opened Itunes and went to the playlist I wanted to copy. I interacted with the source side bar and made sure it selected the right playlist. 3. I uninteracted with the side bar and moved to the table. I interacted with the table and hit command A for select all. After the files were selected, I hit command c for copy. Voice over said "copy." 4. I went to the finder and found my SD card and the VRstream files in it. I found the VR music file and opened it with command O. Then I navigated through the files on it and found the one I wanted to paste the new files in. 5. I opened it with command o. I interacted with the table and voice over said "empty table" while I was in the table I hit comand V for paste. Nothing happened. I hit vo m for the menu and went to edit. I found that cut, copy, and paste were all dimmed. Does anyone have a clue what I am doing wrong? I am getting extremely frustrated! lol Nancy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: copying and pasting to SD card for VR stream
Hi Nancy! I don't know if this will work for what you are trying to do but it might! when you are in Itunes select the 1st track of the playlist that you have, then press command r and if it works it will open in finder! when it is in finder it will be a list that you can open, then select all there and then copy! then you can go to that folder and command v to paste in there! hope it works! it does for a normal playlist!! hth Colin Skype focus_66 On 30 Aug 2010, at 18:18, Nancy Badger wrote: > Hi everyone, > I just went to the web site and read all the previous messages about the VR > stream and how it is supposed to work with Itunes.

Re: downloading/reading bookshare books
For some reason, the built in archive utility does not support password protected zip files. Do a search for a program called the unarchiver. It will handle these kinds of files. After extracting the files, you can copy the book to a device, or open the xml file in your browser. On Aug 29, 2010, at 10:35 PM, John D.

Re: Keyboard issues with fusion, suggestions? How do I get F9 through F 12 keys in windows?
Scott, I downloaded and installed Sharp Keys. in windows under fusion don't have the link handy, but I got it by googling. Sharp Keys has two lists with all the keys possibly on a keyboard listed. You can move through all the controls with tab and shift tab. The first thing you do is find the add button. Enter or space on this. The two lists will then be presented. You arrow down the first list until you find the key you want to map to the key you will arrow down and find in the next list. When you have these chosen, press the OK button. You will then be placed back in the dialog where your first selection will be presented, along with the add button you previously used, a delete button and a button that says something like save to registry. In order to map another key, you press the add button and do the mapping step again followed by OK. When you have finished mapping all the keys you wish, press the save to registry button and you will be prompted to restart your computer for these to take effect. Here's a suggestion for mapping of keys that will cause the accent key, left of number 1, to become your insert key and will put your alt keys and windows key in the correct places on the left. You will also have an applications key to the right of the space bar. I can't remember whether it ends up being the one closest to the space bar or the key further to the right. Below are the mapping instructions Kawal posted here a couple of days ago, which resulted in the above. Here are my Sharpkes mappings Grave (which is called the accent key in Sharp Keys) to Special Caps Lock Left Alt to Left Windows Left Windows to Left Alt Right Windows to Applications On Aug 29, 2010, at 2:00 AM, Scott Granados wrote: > would you mind detailing how you did it? > > On Aug 28, 2010, at 7:07 PM, Kimberly thurman wrote: > >> I finally got it.

Re: Keyboard issues with fusion, suggestions?
Kawal and Scott, I think I tried to over think this whole process at first and made it more difficult than it ultimately was. Scott, I think I had to jump back to the Mac side and unzip the Sharp Keys Program with the Unarchiver for Mac, because I didn't have an applications key, but I really don't remember. I must have gotten it unzipped some how. :) On Aug 29, 2010, at 11:39 AM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: > I have a Mac Book Pro.

reading tables in pages
Hello all, I am having trouble reading tables using pages. The tables I am trying to read are in word documents. When I get to the area where the table is, my cursor gets sent to the end of the file, skipping the table and everything after it. Any suggestions would be helpful. -Greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

MS Office accessibility on the mac natively
Hi, I have installed the mac version of MS Office. Is this accessable? It seems to have buttons available but for example viewing new messages or replying / responding seems problematic. Any tricks here or should I just use office under windows? My reason for using office is I need to have access to an outlook exchange server and all your protocols like IMAP and POP are disabled.

Re: I bought an ipad over the weekend
Hi Peggy, Congratulations on your purchase. I purchased an iPad this weekend as well and it's also trial and error for me as well. I did go into settings, universal access and VoiceOver to set home triple click to turn VO off and on. Very handy as one can use a physical button to toggle VO on and off.

is kapten GPS for Iphone accessible?
Hi listers, I'm a current wayfinder access user, but since they're shutting down soon I need a new GPS. Has anybody played with Kapten GPS for the IPhone? Supposedly, it has routes for pedestrians, biking, and automobiles. This GPS also claims to tell you where the nearest public transportation stop is, and where to go via train and bus to get to your final destination. The page where you can have a look at this is http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kapten-north-america-gps-multitransport/id346821020?mt=8 This would be really cool if it worked. My understanding is that this also stores the maps locally, so there wouldn't be any outrageous data charges. It also means IPod touch owners can use this too. Any thoughts are appreciated.
