Re: accessibility of MacBook Air
Hi Mike, This sounds very interesting.

Re: Some Apple Mail Questions using voiceover
hi, notetakers have their place. you just have to remember what you want to do. for example, if i want to load a bible on a notetaker to take to church or sunday school, and pull up the verses, reading them in braille i can do that. that would be a cumbersome process on a macbook air or any other computer based model.

Mb airs
Hi all, I have to say that I really do enjoy the mb pro along with the i-pad and the i-phone aswell. for about 10 years or so I had mostly used windows computers and had come into contact with many problems such as, viruses, computer always freezing up and locking on me along with the computer often crashing on me after three or four years or my having the computer. I just became fed up with windows and decided after all that time to switch over to a mackbook pro as of this year. I am completely elated about my new mb pro. I will be getting the most recent i-phone within the next few months and i cannot wait either. sincerely, chenelle Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

blind note takers vs the mack book family products:Hi mary and marlana,
I have to say having used both blind note takers and the mb pro/ the i-phone 3gs. I have found the mb family of products to be much more accessible to me as a vi person then the blind note takers. I still also have my original qx 400 pac mate and let me tell you!. I cannot stand that damn note taker. So I mostly stopped using it and just used my windows base computer to read book share book or my victor reader stream or its sister companion the victor reader vibe to read rfbd books. I also own an romeo embosser so if I wanted something in a hard copy all I would have to do is to emboss it and it is at my finger tips etc... However, I can understand how a blind note taker such as the braille note, braille sense or the a pax note taker from human ware would be just right for either one of you during such occasions when it would be most needed. but why don't you try hooking it up to your mack book air to see if it would be much more easier to operate at different functions that you might have to attend. i hope this helps. sincerely, chenelle Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Hi. I have used a pacmate too, I hate it, it is heavy. But I am so happy to use my IPhone/Ipod together with my focus 40 blue braille display.

Re: blind note takers vs the mack book family products:Hi mary and marlana,
Hi everyone, I thought I'd chime in here. Having used the BrailleNote, BT32, Pacmate, and now Braillino I have to say if I were going to college now, what I would use is the Iphone for notes or my Macbook combined with the Braillino as a Braille display. I hope the Braillino will be supported soon for the Iphone. I can see where the notetakers for the blind would have their place though. I do better taking notes on the fly in grade two. If someone is dictating something really fast or I have to write something down before I forget I do better in braille but that's just me. I use the Braillino's notetaking function at work, to fill out forms etc. But have started using the Braillino as a Braille display through Window-eyes and using the computer to do the functions I previously deligated to the Braillino. Cheerfully, Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar! On Nov 8, 2010, at 10:28 AM, Annie Skov Nielsen wrote: > Hi. > > I have used a pacmate too, I hate it, it is heavy.

Re: Mb airs
Hi chenelle, I share the same elation you do with the Macbook. My friend switched to a Macbook and absolutely hated it, but I don't think she gave herself enough time to get used to it. It's really different from WIndows, but not if you think of it intuitively. I never realized how unintuitive Windows is till I switched to a Macbook. I have the Iphone 3GS, due ot the fact my Nokia kept dropping calls and refused to turn on one day. I love my 3GS, even though it's not the newest Iphone, I have digit-Eyes and navigon on there along with several other apps. You will love it! THank you for providing me with the info on the Apple wireless keyboard. I'm not sure if I remembered to thank you, so I apologize if this is the first time I've said it. Have a great day. Musically, Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar!

Changing voice on Iphone for Mark
Hi Mark, I have the Iphone 3GS and i love it. Here's how you change the voice, I haven't done this in a while, so if I'm missing a few steps, please correct me. Oh, I almost forgot when you look at the Iphone see if you can get someone sighted to turn VoiceOver on. You can do this from the Mac without sighted assistance, which is how I did it, but if you're looking at it in a store, there might not be a Mac around. To enable VoiceOver do the following: 1. Tap settings and then general. 2. THen tap accessibility and then tap VoiceOver. A message will come up asking you if you want to enable VoiceOver since it changes the way the Iphone behaves or something like that. Have the person assisting you click okay. Once that is enabled, Samantha should start speaking. You can change the voice as I did to Karen by following the steps below. It's similar to turning VoiceOver on but not quite. 1. Double tap settings. 2. Double tap general. 3. Double tap international and there you will see a list of languages. If you flick with three fingers up towards the top of the screen you will navigate the rows faster. It's kind of like a scrolling motion. I think Australian is in the list in one of the first few rows. I hope I have helped and not confused you. Have a great day!

Deselecting multiple tracks in Itunes
Hi, I was just familiarizing myself with Itunes and I was wondering about the following. Let's say I have an album with 16 tracks, but I only want to listen to two of these tracks. How do I go about deselecting the other tracks after I have selected them? I think it would get rather annoying having to deselect the tracks one by one while you can select all and hit VO-space to get all the tracks selected again. I imagine I'm simply overlooking a key combination here. -- Ruud -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Deselecting multiple tracks in Itunes
that I don't know. you have to hit vo space on the check box but there is to my limited knowledge a way to do this, I mean deselect the check boxes more then 1 at a time. that would be nice. Oh wait.

Re: blind note takers vs the mack book family products:Hi mary and marlana,
Well, if I hooked up my apex to the Air, I'd be dealing with 2 separate devices. And when I am quickly needing to find an item in a list of 80 items so I can edit it on the fly during a live event like our convention, I need speed and absolute accuracy. With the apex, my fingers are all on one unit, jumping quickly from keyboard entry to braille display within a second or less. I take your point about connecting the apex to the air to use it as a braille display and may find that somewhat useful in editing when I have the luxury of time. And, can't say I blame you for not using your PackMate, smile! My point is that if one can possibly find a way to have both, a good reliable notetaker such as BrailleNote Apex or BrailleSense and a wonderful small computer like the Air and the MacBook Pro both have their very separate and valuable place in competing and participating effectively in today's business environs. Marlaina On Nov 8, 2010, at 7:05 AM, Chenelle Hancock wrote: I have to say having used both blind note takers and the mb pro/ the i-phone 3gs. I have found the mb family of products to be much more accessible to me as a vi person then the blind note takers. I still also have my original qx 400 pac mate and let me tell you!. I cannot stand that damn note taker. So I mostly stopped using it and just used my windows base computer to read book share book or my victor reader stream or its sister companion the victor reader vibe to read rfbd books. I also own an romeo embosser so if I wanted something in a hard copy all I would have to do is to emboss it and it is at my finger tips etc... However, I can understand how a blind note taker such as the braille note, braille sense or the a pax note taker from human ware would be just right for either one of you during such occasions when it would be most needed. but why don't you try hooking it up to your mack book air to see if it would be much more easier to operate at different functions that you might have to attend. i hope this helps. sincerely, chenelle Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Moving music from iPod to the Mac
Hi folks. In fact, this can't be done without any tweaking(third party apps. Have any one of you copied/moved files from your iPods/iPhones to the Mac? I've seen this one: http://www.mypodapps.com/ but don't know how well it works. Anyone tried it? Other alternatives that works better maybe? -David -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: blind note takers vs the mack book family products:Hi mary and marlana,
I like the notetakers because they give you a one-piece unit with braille. I'm a voracious reader, and I'd always rather read myself than hear a book read out loud, so for me a notetaker serves a real purpose. I find having two different pieces cumbersome when you're reading while traveling and the like. I'll probably always keep a notetaker around, though any more I don't use it for much besides reading.

Re: some newbie mac questions - item chooser
Hi Tim, I'm not sure how to test this without sighted assistance, but if it's true, it's a bug. on the other hand it makes a bit of sense. I think I remember reading somewhere in this thread that Marlena had 800 contacts and then somewhere else that the IC was only showing 40 items or some such. So then it's pretty clear that some of the contacts are getting into the IC, but not all. NOt by a long shot. So there in lies our problem most probably.

The inconsistancy in the date and time control could be because it remembers where you left off. so, if you only set the month and the day for an appointment, when you get back to the date control it will still be on day instead of starting back at year.

Re: some newbie mac questions - item chooser
Hi Marlena. You wrote. Thank you again for all you are doing. Your tutorials are wonderful, and may I suggest you consider sending them into ACB Radio's Main Menu where this weekend, all things iPhone will be discussed. You're welcome and I'm happy you enjoyed it and found it helpful. I make money providing computer training and support services though. So, I'd want to take a lot more time and preparation over anything that was going out somewhere for public consumption. This was just a slap-dash effort for use by the group, and I'll pull it down in a bit since it turns out to be pretty poorly researched as well as being amaturishly recorded and all that nonsense, smiles. At least the method does work except for the unfortunate detraction that it only scoops up the contacts that are on the screen.

Re: pairing Alva BC640 with Macbook Pro?
Hi DOnna, I don't have an Alva but I did have to pair my Braillino. I went through VO utilities and it refused to pair. It kept saying that there was a driver issue or something like that. I found the best way to pair was to go to bluetooth settings by pressing VO shift M as in mary twice. THen you right arrow till you hear bluetooth. THen VO space on that. You arrow down till it says set up new device or something like that. Select that and try to pair. If the Alva has a specific pairing code, like the Braillino does, you select the radio button that says specific code enter the code and hit pair or connect. I'm sorry I forget what the button is called offhand. I know I had to do this a few times with Earle's help from Handytech with the Braillino. For some reason my VO utility doesn't like pairing the Braille display. BUt once it's paired via bluetooth it's fine. I hope that helps. I love my Braillino and use it everyday as a Braille display and notetaker at work. Have a great day. Sincerely, Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar!

Re: Some Apple Mail Questions using voiceover
Perhaps someone already said this. To turn off a bunch of the "blank blank blank" when reading mail: 1. Hit Vo-M and go to the View menu. 2. Arrow down to the Columns submenu. 3. Hit the right arrow and you will see checkboxes for all the things it can show. Uncheck any that don't seem relevant. That will at least cut down on the blanks.

Re: Magnification:
Hi Louie, The magnification feature built into OSX is called "Zoom." You can turn Zoom on in System Preferences / Universal Access, or use the following key combinations: To toggle Zoom on and off, press Command + Option + 8 To zoom in, press Command + Option + = To zoom out, press Command + Option + - For contrast options, you can also toggle the screen between what Apple calls "White on Black" and "Black on White" by pressing Command + Option + Control + 8. Note that all of these can be used in conjunction with VoiceOver on the Mac, while on the i-devices you are currently limited to using either VO or Zoom, not both together unfortunately.

Re: Changing voice on Iphone for Mark
Hi. I just want to add that since version 4, you can change voices without changing the international settings. In the voiceOver part of settings, scroll down to language rotor. Find each voice you want and double tap it. When you selected all the voices you'd like to use, close the settings app. They're now be a language option in the rotor. With that selected, flicking up and down will cycle through all the voices you've selected.

Getting rid of DropBox
Hi, Has anybody tried deleting the DropBox application from the MAC yet? When I go to the application in the applications folder and choose the "move to trash" option, I get the message that the program is open so it can't be trashed. Now, when I go ahead and do a cmd+o to open it, I get the message saying that "DropBox has no windows" and I can't do anything to close the program. I think that some info is escaping VO, so therefore this question here on this list. Could be a general procedure that I am doing wrong here. Hope to hear from someone who managed to delete the application. Thanks in advance. Daniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Getting rid of DropBox
Good afternoon Daniel, In order to remove the dropbox application, you will need to first stop the running process, since Dropbox is a service that runs in the background. To do this, navigate to the utilities folder from the finder by pressing command+shift+u. Next, navigate to the activity monitor application and open it. In activity monitor, navigate to the processes table and start typing in dropbox. This should highlight the dropbox process in the table. Vo to the left to the toolbar and interact with the toolbar. Navigate to the right to the quit process button and press VO space. You should be presented with a dialog asking you if you really want to quit the process. Once you confirm this dialog, you should be able to delete the dropbox application from your machine. hth On Nov 8, 2010, at 4:36 PM, Daniel K.

iPhone translation apps [was Re: English-Spanish translation redux]
Hi Dean and Brian, I haven't wanted to weigh in with a suggestion for a Spanish translation app, since I have only rudimentary knowledge of Spanish, but if you're looking for a translation app that runs through Google Translate (with all the usual limitations and caveats about machine translation and the need to use this through an internet connection), I can certainly recommend a more accessible alternative, with more features, at least based on my reading of the description of iTranslate - Spanish from Bizmosis, Inc. I'll describe three apps: iTranslate -- the universal translator (free, but $1.99 to buy a voice through in-app purchase to have translations read out with text to speech) by Sonico GmbH, iSpeak Spanish ($1.99) by FutureApps, and Trippo Voice Translator Plus (free for text-to-text translations, free trial text-to-speech use for 14 days, extendable by in-app purchase; $4.99 for permanent license) by Cellictica. All three are available internationally, and probably one the first two would be best suited for Brian's translation needs. I'm going to cc this to the Macvisionaries list, since it may be of wider interest, even though this answer is specific to the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. • iTranslate -- the universal translator by Sonico GmbH For a general purpose app based on Google Translate, I'd recommend iTranslate -- the universal translator by Sonico GmbH. It does require an internet connection to use, and it's for text based input and translated output, however you can purchase a Loquendo voice for text to speech for $1.99 to read out your translated text. These voices are very good quality. The iTranslate app itself is free, and it can handle translations in 52 languages with voice options to support text to speech in 17 languages. There are 3 Castilian Spanish voices (1 male, 2 female) and 2 American Spanish voices (1 male, 1 female) to choose from. You don't have to turn VoiceOver off at any point to access the text boxes. If you want to listen to the text to speech version and you have purchased a voice, you just flick right to the "IMG speaker touch" button that follows the text box for the translated field. (I usually mute VoiceOver with a three finger double tap after I've flicked to the button, and just before I double tap that button so that it's announcement doesn't obscure the beginning of the translated speech, then I unmute with another three finger double tap). If you want to mail, text message, or tweet the translated text, or to save it to history (if you purchased the "plus" version upgrade for $0.99 that allows you save a history of your translation inputs and outputs), you just flick right again to the "IMG action touch" button and double tap. A menu comes up with options for Save (with the plus version of the app), Email, SMS, Twitter, and Copy. If you double tap "Email", for example, the translated text is included in the body of an Email message. I would recommend that you get iTranslate Plus version of the app for $0.99, which will keep a history of your recent translations and also allow you save and organize your translations into favorites lists by categories that you can customize. If you want to start by getting the free version of the app, you can upgrade to the iTranslate Plus version by in-app purchase. However, if you ever need to restore the app on your device, you're going to have to remember to get the free app and update it by in-app purchase. If it were me, I would simply buy the iTranslate Plus version (for $0.99) directly -- even if I first tried out the free version of the app, so as not to get charged again if you end up trying to restore the paid version. If you have the "plus" option, if you flick right past the "IMG action touch" button you'll reach the "Favorites" button in the bottom left corner. This allows you to access your history and the favorites you saved. Finally, there is an "Info" button in the bottom right corner that lets you access your Add-ons and Settings. For example, you can control the voice rate with a slider from the "Voices" setting, determine whether you want Auto Correction or Auto Capitalization set on or off for your text entries under the "Keyboard" setting, and increase the Font size of the input text (if you are a low vision user) in the "Font Size" setting. The "Text-to-Speech" entry under Add-ons lets you browse samples of all the voices available for in-app purchase. Otherwise, if you simply double tap the "IMG speaker touch" button beside your translated text and you haven't purchased a voice, you'll be shown a menu of sample voices for that language. The button won't appear for languages without a supported voice. I gave a full description of the layout of all controls on the iTranslate Plus screen in my archived list post "Chinese Input with VoiceOver

RE: iPhone translation apps [was Re: English-Spanish translation redux]
Hi Ester, Thank you so much for this side-by-side-by-side review of the three apps. I really appreciate the effort you put into this. I think you are right that I translate and I speak will likely suit my needs well. I am actually a fluent Spanish speaker, but sometimes there are words that elude me and it would be great to be able to fill in some gaps as needed. I'm traveling to Bolivia this weekend, and was looking for something that would do this. The only problem is that these require an internet connection, and I haven't decided if I want to try an international plan with AT&T right now, since they messed it up last time I tried when I was in Ecuador last month. Thanks again, Brian M -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Esther Sent: Monday, November 08, 2010 6:29 PM To: viph...@googlegroups.com; macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: iPhone translation apps [was Re: English-Spanish translation redux] Hi Dean and Brian, I haven't wanted to weigh in with a suggestion for a Spanish translation app, since I have only rudimentary knowledge of Spanish, but if you're looking for a translation app that runs through Google Translate (with all the usual limitations and caveats about machine translation and the need to use this through an internet connection), I can certainly recommend a more accessible alternative, with more features, at least based on my reading of the description of iTranslate - Spanish from Bizmosis, Inc. I'll describe three apps: iTranslate -- the universal translator (free, but $1.99 to buy a voice through in-app purchase to have translations read out with text to speech) by Sonico GmbH, iSpeak Spanish ($1.99) by FutureApps, and Trippo Voice Translator Plus (free for text-to-text translations, free trial text-to-speech use for 14 days, extendable by in-app purchase; $4.99 for permanent license) by Cellictica. All three are available internationally, and probably one the first two would be best suited for Brian's translation needs. I'm going to cc this to the Macvisionaries list, since it may be of wider interest, even though this answer is specific to the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. . iTranslate -- the universal translator by Sonico GmbH For a general purpose app based on Google Translate, I'd recommend iTranslate -- the universal translator by Sonico GmbH. It does require an internet connection to use, and it's for text based input and translated output, however you can purchase a Loquendo voice for text to speech for $1.99 to read out your translated text. These voices are very good quality. The iTranslate app itself is free, and it can handle translations in 52 languages with voice options to support text to speech in 17 languages. There are 3 Castilian Spanish voices (1 male, 2 female) and 2 American Spanish voices (1 male, 1 female) to choose from. You don't have to turn VoiceOver off at any point to access the text boxes. If you want to listen to the text to speech version and you have purchased a voice, you just flick right to the "IMG speaker touch" button that follows the text box for the translated field. (I usually mute VoiceOver with a three finger double tap after I've flicked to the button, and just before I double tap that button so that it's announcement doesn't obscure the beginning of the translated speech, then I unmute with another three finger double tap). If you want to mail, text message, or tweet the translated text, or to save it to history (if you purchased the "plus" version upgrade for $0.99 that allows you save a history of your translation inputs and outputs), you just flick right again to the "IMG action touch" button and double tap. A menu comes up with options for Save (with the plus version of the app), Email, SMS, Twitter, and Copy. If you double tap "Email", for example, the translated text is included in the body of an Email message. I would recommend that you get iTranslate Plus version of the app for $0.99, which will keep a history of your recent translations and also allow you save and organize your translations into favorites lists by categories that you can customize. If you want to start by getting the free version of the app, you can upgrade to the iTranslate Plus version by in-app purchase. However, if you ever need to restore the app on your device, you're going to have to remember to get the free app and update it by in-app purchase. If it were me, I would simply buy the iTranslate Plus version (for $0.99) directly -- even if I first tried out the free version of the app, so as not to get charged again if you end up trying to restore the paid version. If you have the "plus" option, if you flick right past the "IMG action touch" button you'll reach the "Favorites" button in the bottom left corner. This allows you to access your history and the favorites you saved. Finally, there is an "Info" button in the bottom right corne

Re: blind note takers vs the mack book family products:Hi mary and marlana,
Hi Marlaina, I have enjoyed reading your views. I am in your camp I believe as I still use the Braillino's note taking capability at work just because if I need to take down dictation fast, I'm much quicker typing in Braille than I am at the computer keyboard. I can type pretty quickly on the keyboard, but just not fast enough sometimes. I think they both have a place. i don't think I'll ever be without a Braille display probably a note taking device since I never know what job requirements or future jobs might be available where I may need to use such devices. I am however not a fan of the huge price literally we pay for access technology. My hats off to Apple for the Mac and out of the box accessibility. It was very emotional for me to have my Mac. I never in my lifetime thought I'd see mainstream accessibility in a computer with a built-in screen reading solution. I never thought I'd see a blind person being able to use a touch screen cell phone either. The love of my life is sighted and he says I use the Mac and Iphone faster than he does. Well, have a wonderful evening. I'm really enjoying reading everyone's views on this topic. wish the Macbooks and Iphones were around when I was in college :).

Re: blind note takers vs the mack book family products:Hi mary and marlana,
I also have a braillenote and I like my mac as well. I was so happy when I got it, I was speechless after I set it up with no sighted assistance.

Re: Getting rid of DropBox
Well, the thing of it is this. You need to get to the Drop Box preferences. To do this, you'll need to go in to your status menu, and then, use VO+simicolon, lock your Voice Over keys. Now, move your mouse in a straight line to the left while using F5 to tell you where your mouse is. When you hear, "Drop Box", You need to press VO+shift+space to click the mouse. Now, you'll be pulled in to the menu from which you can select the preferences. When you get to it, you need to press the return key until you hear "select preferences". Now, use the window chooser menu to get at the actual preferences. Now that you're here, you can choose whether or not to have Drop Box start up at the system start or even shut it down now. ONce shut down, you should be able to remove it. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now A Very Proud and very happy Mac user!!!

iTUnes?
Hello all, I'm pretty new to this list, but not new to owning a Mac. I bought my iMac in May, and since then I have also bought an iPod Touch 4G. However, I haven't been able to totally switch over to Mac. One of the very few reasons I haven't been able to stop using a Windows 7 VM constantly is iTunes. Compared to Winamp, iTunes just seems horribly bloated and complicated. For example, if I want to create a temporary playlist of only a certain subset of my music, movies or TV shows, I have to create a new playlist and add all of the files I want, whereas in Winamp, all I have to do is brows to the folder I want to listen to, turn shuffle play on if I want to, and play it. The other thing is terminal applications. Especially when a lot of text comes through, for example if I'm trying to use TinTin++, whenever new text comes in, if Voiceover is already speaking, the speech is interrupted and the new text is spoken. I'm just trying to figure out how to make this work, so any help anyone can give me is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
any way to send .brf files to my juliette?
Hi all. I was really disappointed to learn that Duxbury does not make a version for Mac. Is there a way to send files to my Juliette?

Re: any way to send .brf files to my juliette?
Hi Marlaina, I think I remember asking this a while back on this list. Hmm, now that I think of it a while was only like a week ago. There is a gentleman named Erik and he told me of a free Braille translation program for the Mac called Louis I think it is. I haven't googled it, but I think Erik said it allows you to create BrF files. I don't know if it will let you send them to the Juliet. I have a Juliet as well. It's old as the hills, but I use it very infrequently, it's not worth asking for a new one. Not that I would get it anyway :). I don't know if I've helped but I hope so. I hope you are having a wodnerful evening. Musically, Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar!

Re: iTUnes?
Hi Jason, I can at least give you an answer for your first question. I use VLC media player. It can handle winamp playlists, and it can also be set as your default media application. It works very well, and is quite accessible. There are a few check boxes that aren't labeled, but one's an EQ, one puts it in full screen mode in case you're watching a movie with it. I hope that helps. Friendly, Chris On Nov 8, 2010, at 8:27 PM, Jason SW wrote: > Hello all, > > I'm pretty new to this list, but not new to owning a Mac.

Re: Problem with voiceover and google?
This 9s a well known problem. Simply download webkit from webkit.org and use that to browse instead. It's more recent updates to safari and wha safari is pulled from during the dev cycle. Many of the voice over bugs are fixed and you don't lose any functionality. Enjoy! On Nov 8, 2010, at 9:00 PM, Blake Hardin wrote: > Ok guys, problem here and its never happened.

Re: blind note takers vs the mack book family products:Hi mary and marlana,
Honestly, thisis my own personal take and I hope I don't offend anyne but I don't like a lot of things about blind notakers so I tend towards the off the shelf. Being so grossly over charged for a device which is basically a mid 1990S pocket PC or at best a dead windows mobile platform. The interfaces are years out of date, and interoperability is tricky. I will admit, a device like the braille note really sounds attractive to me and would make a lot of things at work a lot easier. The price seems steep though.

For example, if I want to create a temporary playlist of only a certain subset of my music, movies or TV shows, I have to create a new playlist and add all of the files I want, whereas in Winamp, all I have to do is brows to the folder I want to listen to, turn shuffle play on if I want to, and play it. The other thing is terminal applications. Especially when a lot of text comes through, for example if I'm trying to use TinTin++, whenever new text comes in, if Voiceover is already speaking, the speech is interrupted and the new text is spoken. I'm just trying to figure out how to make this work, so any help anyone can give me is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jason. smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
Re: switching from 64 to 32 bit version of OS
Hi! Now that we are talking about 32-bit and 64-bit, I know that regular Macbooks cannot boot into 64-bit mode. It also sounds like there is some confusion. No Mac, Pro or otherwise, boots into 64-bit by default. You either have to set it, or hold down 6 and 4 during startup. This is the kernel. Snow Leopard is 64-bit, but that only means it runs 64-bit applications. It does not use the 64-bit extentions, which is the kernel booting as 64-bit. If anyone tries this, I'd like to know about their compatibility issues, speed, etc. Regards, Nic GoogleTalk: chojiro1...@gmail.com Facebook Twitter Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: nico...@home3.gvdnet.dk Yahoo!

Re: Some Apple Mail Questions using voiceover
I do the normal mail boxes on the imap server but you can create them on your mac as well.

Re: switching from 64 to 32 bit version of OS
I boot holding down the 6 and 4 and find I get a very slight boost if any. I understand it's between 3 and 10% but anything I think I feel I honestly believe is the placibo effect. My VM seems a little snapper as well but again that could be my experience playing tricks on me.

Re: switching from 64 to 32 bit version of OS
Hi Scott Thanks a lot for that. I didn't think it'd be such a terrible boost, either, but I was very curious to know. What about incompatibility?
