Re: Erasing drive formatted for Windows

[Maurice A. mines]

Hi  if  this  drive is  for  windows on  a  pc, Ntfs is  the  only option. Also 
 that  drive  if  it  is  butting  windows, the  drive  layout  must  be  “MBR” 
if  it  is  just  a  storage drive, “guid” is  fine. I hope that this  helps.

Maurice  Mines.

Re: Firefox on my Mac

[maurice A. Mines]

Good afternoon, if you're talking about your Mac you can move the 
program from applications to the trash. If you have to clear it your 
system will ask you to enter your password or use touch ID if you have a 
machine that has a touch bar. I hope this helps?



Sincerely Maurice Mines.


Please be aware, that I am dictating this to a virtual Windows machine. 
I hope this turns out ok?

Preparing for a new Mac?

[Maurice A. Mines]

Good morning all I am beginning to process of preparing for a new Mac. I 
currently have an Intel-based MacBook Pro 2020 I am waiting for the final 
shipping on a new MacBook Pro 14 inch M2. What things should I be doing to 
prepare other than the things that I’m already starting to do. One I am going 
through the list of the applications that I use to find out which applications 
were require versions that run under silicon. To beginning the process of 
switching back up media. Can’t use the old back up media because well quite 
frankly it’s too old. Is there anything I am missing?
Two notes, one my email is of a personal nature. Meaning talking about my 
personal computer. Nothing to do with the national Federation of the blind at 
all. To please be aware that I’m dictating with to my phone so here’s hoping 
that it’s understandable? Thanks and I look forward to everyone’s comments and 
suggestions.

Big VMware fusion problems. Can anyone help with this issue

[Maurice A. Mines]

Good evening everyone, here's what's happening. I have a VMware bundle. Every 
time I run it lately I get the error message can't find/user/username 
mine/Windows 11 Pro. Dot ISO. What's going on here Mark the other issue is my 
older virtual machine can't be used because it was done on a different 
iteration of my Mac meaning the keychain that it was done under can't be used 
to recover the password. So that's not working. Paragraph I guess my running 
question is should I take the time to go back and rebuild my entire virtual 
machine?

Continuing to prepare for the new machine. I hope everyone is well? Please be 
aware that I'm dictating this to my phone. So here's hoping that it's 
understandable?

PS does the beta users group still exist? Meaning the email list? Starting my 
summer of beta testing. So far it's just my phone and the computer. After the 
Watch fiasco a couple of years ago, I'm not willing to put my watch in beta 
unless I find out that the beta is OK and they didn't take speech out for beta 
test purposes.

Re: Mac mini as laptop replacement?

[Maurice A. Mines]

Good morning Mr. Duncan. Unfortunately, no the Mac mini is a desktop computer 
that isn’t a mobile computer if you need to touch it on the road. You would be 
better to get a MacBook Pro or a MacBook error. Meaning the mini computer has a 
way to plug-in your old windows, keyboard your mouse, etc. speakers things like 
that it is it is a desktop replacement nothing to do with mobile computing at 
all. I hope this helps and I hope that your Labor Day weekend goes well. That 
goes for everyone. be well everyone please excuse any dictation since I’m

A test, and how can I subscribe my actual real email address?

[Maurice A. Mines]

Good morning everyone, I responded to the Mac mini thread but I noticed my 
message apparently did not make it to the list. So I am testing to see if this 
email makes it to the list? Please take note of the email address in my 
signature. I’d rather use that email address than this Google address. Why, 
because the email address that is in my signature is the email address that I 
took about 90% of the time. I don’t check my Google address very often at all. 
Any thoughts? Please forgive any typos, or mistakes in this message because I 
am dictating this to my phone. Because that’s the only place that Google 
messages go to automatically.  Thank you all very much for reading this. And I 
hope everyone has an outstanding Labor Day weekend.

Re: Concerned about the future Mac accessibility

Hi  I am  having  some  small  issues, but  no  showstoppers whin  it comes  to 
 Mac OS accessibility. That  being said. I am using  a  beta on  an Intel based

Re: Pairing/Connecting Braille Display to Mac Book Air.

[Maurice A. Mines]

Hi, all you need to do is go into utilities and go to voiceover utilities underneath that you will find options go down to braille go to the fourth tab which is displays and you can start the pairing process there. Please follow whatever your displays manual says it’s a procedure for setting up Bluetooth braille. I hope this helps. I have had to do this myself personally. I went from an old Intel MacBook Pro, to a new M2 MacBook Pro. The only issues I am having unfortunately is I can’t get my braille display to play along when using a virtual windows machine. But I have had good comments about  Mac dictation. Because I have a written _expression_ disorder on top of being deaf blind. So I rely on braille heavily. Be well everyone. By the way, I will need to update the signature file. I’m going to write the best email address List to reach me at. But don’t send anything to the email listed in the signature block. I will be working on updating that today.  My new persnale email  address is maur...@maurice-amines.com. My Nfb Deafbl Division email address is presidentdeafbl...@maurice-amines.com. Have a great  Saturday everyone.Sent from my iPhone. Email, mmi...@mauricemines.org  text number 661-868-9647.Fax no 661-449-3746.President, National Federation of the blind Deafblind division.

Now, I want to connect it to a Mac Book Air running most recent version of OS. I cannot remember where I need to go to get this pairing done. I looked under VO utilities and was unable to locate Braille settings/displays. I also tried system preferences under Bluetooth but I was not seeing anything that sounded like the right setting choices. Also, does it matter that the Brailliant Bi X 40 is currently set to use with my Mac Book Pro? That is, it is not running at the same time I’m trying to pair it with the Air, but it is setup and works correctly with the Pro when I want to use it there. I hope that makes sense. Any pointers to get me in the correct place are appreciated. Eileen

A forworword email that I tried to send from my iPhone. Please read below,eny help wood be greatly aprishated?

[Maurice A. Mines]

Hello, my subject line says it all. I currently am using avast. But it is 
starting to cost some problems. It says there is a file that needs my 
attention. Despite all efforts to get the file deleted the program still 
warrants making email let’s just say, far from being enjoyable. In fact, it’s 
struggle to get anything done at times. What would be a good product to switch 
to? Or should I just uninstall the product? Do a time machine restore and 
reinstall the product? Does anyone on this list? Have any good suggestions is 
what could be helpful, more accessible, and user-friendly? There in mind, 
however that this is my M2 Mac.  so it can’t run on it anything but an M2 
platform because as I’ve noticed there is a difference some software titles no 
problem but others big problem. I hope this email finds everyone well and 
please be aware it is very early here in the Pacific time zone, and I am 
dictating this to my phone, because of the issues that I have mentioned above.  
Also, please be aware that this is the first time I’ve view the new signature 
file so I’m hoping it is understandable. Be well everyone I look forward to 
reading everyone’s responses.

Parallels desktop for Mac frustrations.

[Maurice A. Mines]

Hello everyone, I'm writing because I'm extremely frustrated with many issues 
in this software. The largest issue that I'm experiencing is the problem 
software not recognizing any comports. I think this is a function of my arm 
based Mac. I in a licensed radio amateur. That means I must use radio 
programming software. This software according to the company that produces the 
software should run in a virtual machine that of course is the Arm 64 version 
of Windows. This appears to be true on the surface, meaning that the program, 
and your programs will install. Unfortunately when it comes to actually 
connecting the radios to the computer, because of parallels insistence that 
there must be an inaccessible dialog box that demands that you okay the 
communications port to be opened meaning it identifies the cable connected 
properly but then refuses to actually allow USB data to pass.

My question to the group is if the time to go back to VMware? Will VMware run 
better when it comes to dealing with USB cable communication?

Two a completely different frustration. It appears that I cannot do anything 
without the ubiquitous search box from popping up. Not to mention when the 
search box isn't popping up, Microsoft teams takes its place. The only 
workaround that I found it seems to be effective for these two situations is to 
turn voiceover, and interact with the OS X portion of the computer. Meaning 
that I go back to doing things on my Mac, meaning going between Windows. 
Navigating between Windows that are open using voiceover. This approach works 
about 90% of the time. The other approach is that if there are too many 
applications open, and my MacBook Pro begins to freeze, I can go over to the 
force quit applet, and pick the application that is causing all the trouble and 
forcibly stop it from running.

The final frustration occurs when I even attempt to which out to the company 
for technical support. While I have no problem with "signing in" it would be 
nice if my only option were not to have a chat and then t. Just simply because 
most of the time those chat clients are not accessible when one uses either 
voiceover, or jaws 

So far, it appears that the only positive take away is the fact that I can use 
dictation software without too many problems.

I am curious to know what people on the list thank you? Just for the record, I 
have the  professional addition of parallels desktop for Mac. I am currently 
running Mac OS Sonoma 14.1.1 on aM2  Mac.

Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom regarding everything I've dictated about? 
That brings me to the end of this, if there's something that has been written 
about that dictation software did not catch, please ask me what did I really 
intend to say. I will be happy to clear up any  unintended errors that the 
dictation software they have created.

Sincerely Maurice mines.

my computing go-bag with lots of cables for when I go out on repair jobs and 
sometimes training.

Re: sd card reader

[Maurice A. Mines]

Hello, Apple makes A Multi card Reading device, that can read both that 
standard SD cards, and the micro SD cards as well. The other things that are 
included in this Device is A old style USB port, one thunderbolt port, and HDMI 
port period when I purchased it it was roughly $74 US. If you purchased a 
MacBook it will look like A tiny MacBook only it's a card reader. Because it is 
made with the same aluminum that all MacBooks are made of. Hope this helps.

Re: Will Vm Ware run on a M2 Mac?

[Maurice A. Mines]

A look  at  Vm Ware’s site  states that under V13 importing a  Vm  from  
Parallels on  a  arm  Mac  is  not   supported. For  now  I  will  stay  with  
Parallels I  will  cost  to much  money to install all  windows  apps, and buy 
a retail license. Also  Jfw, and  dragon are  a  difent story. When  VMware 
allows for  importing a  arm based Mac I will  switch.

Re: Using Parallels

[Maurice A. Mines]

Hi  it. Comes down to personal chose. The. Real reason that  Microsoft went 
with  Parallels, is the  two  companies offices are. Vary  close to etch other. 
I know that  this  a  vary small thing. But is  is true. Both are in  a  
subvert of. Seattle Washington. 

All  of that  aside, it. Comes down to personal chose.

For me  Parallels is. Working out  for  me . I hold to  something like  this  
if  it  is  not  broken don’t  go  and  fix it.

Re: Thinking of Switching to Windows

[Maurice A. Mines]

Hi  I  think  that  it  is  personal prefence. I  use  my  Mac about 80% of  
the  time. I use a  virtual windows  machine. I don’t use Microsoft products on 
 the  Mac  side, except Word. Everything else in windows. Email  for me  works  
much better on  he  Mac side, I  have  different email boxes for  personal 
email, and DeafBlind division things. I also kee separate email boxes for  
outlook, and  iCloud email.

All  of  the  above is  to highlight how  I  chose to  organize my email for  
instance.

Bodom line is  it  comes down personal presence.

Re: Question about outlook

[Maurice A. Mines]

Hmm for what it's worth Mac mail  for me  works much better thin outlook. On  
the  Mac outlook is  a  web app that vary confusing. Mac mail I  find  to  be  
much better to  navigate than outlook. It  works with  VO vary well.

A question for the list. Which of these two back up products is best or a VO user?

[Maurice A. Mines]

Good morning everyone, which one is better or a VO user, in terms of usability 
and speed. One carbon copy koner? Two Super duper? If anyone has any other 
suggestion, other than Time machine, please speak up?

Re: Hiding preview pane in Mail?

[Maurice A . Mines]

Thanks so much for the reminder on how to get rid of the preview pane. I had 
forgotten how to do it and had made peace with it. I’ve actually made use of VO 
J to quickly read what’s in the preview pane, but it’s so nice to now be able 
to get rid of it when I don’t want messages marked as read.

Either issues when using vmware fusion on a silicon based Mac if you have to use Communications port serial port.

[Maurice A. Mines]

Hello everyone I have a amateur radio operator friend, who wants to switch from 
windows to Mac, this friend however is very concerned that if they pick using 
vmware fusion as the software to virtualize Microsoft Windows, that he will 
have to stop using" RT systems" handheld radio programming software. The reason 
why this might be a real issue is because this friend believes that one cannot 
use the serial port cable that that programming software requires any virtual 
machine under vmware Fusion. Is this true? I don't run being fusion on my 
machine so I cannot answer Friends question.

Here's hoping that someone on the list has the answer, to this question.

Should I buy carbon copy cloner? Is it good enough to just use time machine? Thought anyone?

[Maurice A. Mines]

Hello everyone, I'm trying to decide if just using time machine as a 
backup and restore option is better than purchasing carbon copy cloner? Because 
my research seems to show that one does the same thing as the other. Meaning 
I'm using time machine what would be the benefit to using carbon copy cloner? 
Bottom line, is carbon copy cloner worth the $40? Or is this expense a waste of 
time and money.

Will time machine Restore my machine should anything bad happen?

All the best Maurice mines.

Re: Vmware fusion

[Maurice A. Mines]

I would answer your question like this, I would say yes if you understand these 
two caveats. One if you’re using an Intel based Mac, it is probably the way to 
go. Meaning it is accessible. If you’re using a silicon, Mac and you are 
planning on upgrading whenI'll  I’ll macOS sequoia You might want to think 
twice about that. On the other hand, there is some good news on this front when 
it comes to virtualizing windows on the Mac parallels, although not free has 
gotten significantly better in terms of accessibility while beta testing, I 
stumbled upon this change as an a significant improvement. I think for now it 
is probably best if one can to switch to parallels just simply because the 
accessibility like I said is greatly improved. I know some will have other 
concerns. But my concerns about it accessibility in parallels certainly somehow 
someway got hurt.

A word about my signature. I want to stress the comments about our mine they 
don’t reflect my NFB signature. So just to be clear these are my personal 
thoughts. They don’t have anything to do with The National Federation of the 
Blind, or the deaf blind division. Note number two just be aware that I am 
dictating this to my phone. So here’s hoping that the dictation turns out OK.

The followup to my post this morning.

[Maurice A. Mines]

Good morning everyone, I wanna explain it my comments earlier today. The first 
issue with being more infusion currently is it appears that Broadcom is in the 
process of closing being fusion as a product down, removing it from the 
marketplace. The company appears want to focus on corporate infrastructure 
because that's where they're making money. I have received emails from the 
divestiture office, which means in British business terms means liquidate as 
enclosed down. The email discusses what they're going to do with my "personal 
data apparently under European law they have to tell you that they're holding 
this and will use it for marketing purposes. But the email if I am remembering 
it clearly indicate that the product will go away but my day is being mine 
while they close this all down apparently. One other sign that this may need me 
the case is that the minute I moved to start beta testing Mac OS sequoia being 
fusion stopped working almost completely. And I'm not sure as I mentioned 
earlier in this email that.com  wants to put any resources 
into keeping a product alive that apparently isn't making the money.

On the other hand Parallels accessibility has gotten significantly better for 
us. The accessibility issues that led me to switch from parallels to being more 
fusion have disappeared almost. One accessibility with jaws for windows Version 
2024 seems to work and 98% of the case is where I use it. The only issue 
appears to be is when Microsoft Outlook, there seems to be a issue where 
outlook is collapsed and I can't get it expanded you know to focus on each 
agenda message easily. Although it appears that I can track this by using 
the”Vo” keys. When it comes to NVDA there appears to be no real issues. In 
terms of being able to use that window screen reader as a back up solution.

The only parallels issue that I've noticed is that sometimes applications 
appear in different windows, so one must use the dock to move between the 
windows Applications if they were actual Mac applications in order to gain 
focus on the active application. But the way to stop applications, is to bring 
up the Force quit window, and then pick the windows application that you wish 
to force quit. It seems to work 100% of the time. In other words what I'm 
trying to say here is when using parallels it functions like windows but you 
should always remember your voiceover key strokes. In addition you need to 
remember how to manage, and or force quit Applications in terms of the manner 
one would quit one away applications.

Another Plus  for us, is the fact that you can login into windows in the same 
manner you log into your Mac if you have touch ID. The company has made a 
process for buying use your touch ID to automatically enter your Windows 
password. This means that you're like me and I've had to demonstrate using 
windows in a virtual machine you don't have to have people watching you enter 
your password and windows. All they see is you using the touch ID key. I do 
realize that this is not a free option, it's in fact $120 US per year. If 
you're using a silicon Mac this apparently appears to be the only option for 
paying for parallels, but they do issue updates which of course means that are 
granted free during the life of your subscription. Overall things are very 
accessible. Bottom line for now if you have a silicone based Mac in our 
planning on upgrading next month in terms of the operating system, parallel 
appears to be the way to go or virtualized windows. I hope this lengthy 
explanation helps explain things as I currently understand them. Please feel 
free to ask questions, about accessibility and how one sucks this up. But just 
understand that the question relates to the beta of macOS unless the answer is 
already publicly available meaning it's out there in the press or in the 
community in general I believe I can't discuss any of this until Michael 
Sequoia is released. Which should be I'm gonna guess either sometime late in 
September or early October. But much of what is known about the improvements 
but the general public is already common knowledge so unless the question 
really does deal with something that really is still considered a beta issue 
there is likely to not be a problem discussing on this list.

Final thoughts please be aware that I dictated this to my Mac so there are 
still may be some spelling, and or syntax errors but this should be 
understandable. And as I mentioned earlier this morning my thoughts are 
certainly a personal opinion nature that you don't reflect views of the 
national Federation of the blind, or the views of the national Federation of 
the blind deaf blind division.

Maurice Mines.

A follow up to my post this morning regarding fusion and parallels accessibility

[Maurice A. Mines]

Unfortunate my attempts to paste what I’m about to say from the computer failed.

Let me explain the situation that exists right now when it comes to virtual 
windows on a Mac. One if you’re using fusion and you have an Intel face mark 
and you do not plan on upgrading to Mac OS sequoia You have absolutely no 
worries right now.

If you only a silicon based Mac and you do plan to upgrade to Mac OS Sequoia, a 
word of caution. If you’re using being fusion so far in beta testing, fusion 
does not work if you have a series machine. I have found that parallels works 
much better than I have expected. The software seems to work very well with the 
current version of Jaws for windows version 2024. And NVDA. There are some 
minor issues when using jaws outlook in windows with getting the Message view 
table to expand. But I found that if you use the voiceover keys, you can use 
that as an alternative to select the message that you wish to read.

About being with fusion and what it appears the future is for that particular 
product as I understand it. I have been getting emails in recent weeks from the 
 The investiture office this I think is British business speak or liquidate, 
and or sell assets. The long story short that I’ve gathered from the emails is 
that Broadcom is going to eventually close down VMware fusion in order to 
concentrate on their corporate infrastructure business they did, however 
informed me that some of my personal data is being kept for marketing purposes 
if I have any questions, I can certainly get a hold of the digester office. 
Apparently, the only emails they want to receive are me staying in writing that 
I wish for them to dispose of my personal data. Apparently these are EU rules. 
Long story short it appears that being more infusion. If I’m understanding all 
of this is not likely to be around Much longer long-term.

Moving back to parallels parallels of course is not free. It is a $120 a year 
subscription. But the accessibility seems to have greatly improved to the point 
that as I mentioned above the issues are very few. I don’t work or either 
company. I’m just a private citizen mentioning my personal thoughts. The 
signature that appears under this dictated email, meaning I’m dictating to my 
phone. Certainly people should not take this to me that The National Federation 
of the Blind, or the national Federation of the blind deaf blind division is 
endorsing, and we knocking any product and or service. Finally, as I just 
mentioned, I am dictating this to my phone. I have this all written out in Word 
on the computer, but as I stated at the beginning of this message, the copy 
process did not work. So it is forcing me to re-dictate this entire email. I’d 
be happy to entertain any questions that anyone has related to all of this. 
Final thoughts here, but I have mentioned it based on beta testing but as you 
notice, I didn’t say anything about the beta I can answer most questions 
provided that your question pertains to what is already publicly done about the 
next version of macOS. If it’s something that I think it’s not public knowledge 
then I probably can’t talk about it until macOS Sequoia is released sometime 
next month or an early October. Again, please excuse any syntax punctuation and 
other errors.

I'm interesting Windows virtual machine Braille Display dilemma.

[Maurice A. mines]

Good morning everyone, I am having an interesting bra display dilemma. I'm 
getting ready to go on a trip. And I am only planning on taking one braille 
display with me.

I know that many on this this use being more fusion, but after doing some 
research it appears they have recently dropped all Bluetooth support. So 
unfortunately unless something is radically different I don't think I can use 
being more fusion with the rail display I'm planning on taking. On the other 
hand, Parallels desktop for mac does have Bluetooth support. But here's the 
interesting twist, the braille display I'm planning on using is seeing in the 
virtual machine. I can only connect to it if I use a pin code. Sadly the 
braille display does not allow for the entry of the pin code on the device 
meaning the braille display.

The device I think it's gonna be very difficult to accommodate. It's the 
braille since six. Can I get to my Mac MacBook Pro M2, running macOS sequoia no 
problem! Works great! But if I need anything from Windows 11 Pro, and if I need 
to read it and set up attempting to hear it, appears to be a big no go. Does 
anyone on the list have any suggestions?

Just so that everyone knows I have talked to the tech-support people in Austin. 
They suggested that I might reach out to the list. I've done a little tiny bit 
of work with parallels but they said this was a couple of years ago.

The company and I thought I could use USB, to do this. But the USB drivers are 
unfortunately meant for Intel hardware. Hence they are useless on an arm 
machine. I hope this email clearly explains my dilemma?

Please note that I'm including my signature below only because I'm working on a 
lot of things and this email is coming from my official email address. But the 
question is coming from me the person, not me the president of the deaf blind 
division of the national Federation of the blind.

Re: I'm interesting Windows virtual machine Braille Display dilemma.

[Maurice A. mines]

Hello everyone, Frank your suggestion would work you this machine or not and 
arm machine. The USB drivers available on the manufacturer only work under 
Intel base hardware. If one's Mac is an M series, all bets are off. In fact the 
tech-support people can't use their surface machines with the braille since 
six. They've asked their developer to work on this.

The note above is, constitute my personal thoughts on this. The signature below 
is because I'm working on a lot of things related to my upcoming trip so the 
signature is my official one.

Re: Dropbox for the Mac?

[Maurice A. mines]

Here is a description of the problem, one I downloaded the application from the 
official dropbox page. Two I attempted to run the install program which of 
course requires me to give clarence. Three of course I'm reminded that it is an 
application downloaded from the Internet. After clearing the installation to 
proceed the program starts and tells me it's downloading. I get the message 
"content is empty" then it tells me it's installing. After I think it is 
finished I attempt to launch the program. Again I get the message content is 
empty. Next I go into the applications folder to attempt to run the software 
from where it said it was installed. In this case of Applications folder. 
course the applications folder.

Dropbox for the Mac?

[Maurice A. mines]

Hello everyone, I have a big problem. Unfortunately I cannot for the life of me 
get the Mac version of dropbox reinstalled onto my system. I have recently had 
to reinstall macOS Sequoia. The issue here is that the dropbox installer 
appears to install but now the installation program nor the program if it ever 
got installed appears to be accessible to voiceover in any way shape or form. 
There are been several emails between myself and the company it appears they 
don't seem to get what the word accessibility means. Any good suggestions? I 
use dropbox to send large files. So I'm looking for an alternative if it comes 
to it?

Re: Windows On My New Mac

[Maurice A. mines]

Good afternoon. I use parallels on a daily basis. It is not completely 
inaccessible. The only part that isn't accessible is when you are attempting to 
install a gas system. I would strongly suggest when you do this you use 
services like Aria, or be my eyes, you can also on occasion see a side family 
member wishes to help you.

You can use any version of windows that is compatible with an arm system. I 
have used both Fedora core Lennox the graphical version meaning known desktop. 
As well as what I'm kindly using Microsoft windows 11 64 bit of course for 
processors. And as I stated above with the only caveat of installing windows 
after this installation is done you can use whatever window space screen mirror 
you wish I use jaws 2025 and NVDA. The good thing about parallels is that I 
have set it up so that my password is embedded in my virtual machine. So when I 
must use my virtualized windows in public they never see my machine password 
Touch ID is a wonderful thing. Meaning that parallel customizes some Windows 
functions so that you can use them on your Mac without too much hassle. I 
recently had a display driver issue that Microsoft was able to get fixed. 
Here's a hint Microsoft will only recognize machines running parallels since it 
is Microsoft and apple's official answer for virtualizing windows at this time. 
Yes I've used vmware fusion. Lately that window manager it seems to run quite 
slow under macOS Sequoia. I don't work for Parallels but parallel seems to run 
much faster on my machine. The battery drain seems to be minimal. The only 
drawback, and this is regardless of which manager you use be aware that you 
must use USB braille, meeting a USB braille display neither vmware or parallels 
support Bluetooth braille at this time.

The good news is my parallels installation does support some USB resources that 
you wouldn't normally Think would be supported on an arm system. I mean 
licensed US radio amateur. I can use"RT systems" amateur Radio handheld 
programming software in the virtual machine. Apparently the arm driver seemed 
to work when programming two different radios made by Yasu. In addition I have 
one Digital mobile radio, made by Alinco, when is the Windows arm drivers work 
very well.

And to wrap this up I do have dragon installed in my virtual machine. When I 
need to use it I've encountered no real issues. In fact dragon and faster under 
arm, and it runs on my actual windows in to based machine. Just some food for 
thought. I hope my two cents worth has been helpful to some.

If anyone has any specific questions please don't hesitate to write me directly 
if you think it's kind of clutter the list with our conversation.

Re: Braille displays (was Re: I am done for now with the Mac.)

[Maurice A. mines]

Hello everyone just for comparison in order to write this message, and read 
what I'm writing I use a braille since six that is going to be a Bluetooth to 
my MacBook Pro. My machine is a mid 2022 M2 machine. Running the most recent 
version of macOS sequoia. The Bluetooth pairing experience as far as this 
machine goes is even easier than the parenting experience that I have to go 
through when trying to connect this display to my iPhone 16 Pro Max. It seemed 
to the two devices are close to each other, I get the parenting request from 
the braille since six which of course is a notetaker. I click connect and the 
two devices are linked to via Bluetooth. In fact it is an extreme hassle to 
disconnect these two devices sometimes so I just leave this unit connected to 
my MacBook Pro about 85% of the time. Needless to say I'm not having any 
issues. And because of a hidden additional disability meaning the written 
expression disorder forces me to dictate everything when I appears I don't have 
a problem when needing to write AUEB abbreviation. I hope this helps. I have 
also used the brilliant BI X line of smart breakout displays. Please display 
our somewhat more difficult to get connected to my Mac. But still work well 
once they are connected I have both a 40 cell, and a 20 cell model. I use these 
when the situations require the use of one or the other. These days those 
situations are we needing to use my main display for the Mac, but I need 
braille in my virtual windows machine. I use the brilliant displays in windows, 
they tend to work better in that operating system. But that's just because of 
the way I am using them. I think no matter what display you pick be sure it is 
one that you're going to use for a few years period this is because of the cost 
of these devices.

Here hoping that the dictation has worked out so that this is understandable? 
Be well everyone?

Re: Siri end dictation intermittently not working after latest iOS upgrade

Hi  you  need  to. Not  use  the  speakers, use  a  headset or. earbuds. Thin 
dictation will  work vary  well.
