If your computer using the Get Info option gives yo a total drive size of
124gb then then to me that would say your drive is a 128GB ssd
But if you open your disk utilities and find the internal drive you should be

Hi,
Just a few updates ...
DAISY and Epub have indeed merged--past tense. It's a done deal.
Furthermore, the IDPF, which had been creating Epub, has merged into the
W3C. The hope is to have HTML fully support publishing requirements.

You need to learn to use diskutil from the command line. This is best
accomplished by ssh into the Mac from another machine, because you're
more likely to get good screen reader support that way. Voice Over isn't
the best when run in Terminal, which is the native way to do this.
Note that diskutil
What you're missing is the way Apple does the math.
Your available storage space is being dynamically allocated between what
is actually used and what's still available for use by Mac or some other
installation, like BootCamp. At least, that's what apfs is doing.

diskutil is the best tool, promise.

Hello Simon and Janina,
Well, I thought I had. For some reason every now and again upon boot the mute
is applied. I shall reinstall bootcamp drivers again. Hopefully, it will settle
down.
But likewise I thank you both for your input. I was going to give up having
installed Windows 10 3 times.
Hi,
To clarify. What's likely happened here is that when you attempted to create
the BootCamp partition, something went wrong. Obvious, I know, but it needs to
be said first. So, you now have the Macintosh HD partition using up half the
space of the 250 GB drive and the rest is unallocated s

I'm not aware of one, but that isn't saying much. I don't use them much

Slightly different now is that you can use the activity rotor and select drag
and drop as options there.
So a little less random than in earlier versions.

no app there, you still need to go back to the double tab and

I think you have to resize or re-partition the mac and start over.

Hi!
Some of the virtualbox gui interface is accessible but i wouldn’t use that if i

THere are commands for virtualbox from terminal so i guess you just ssh into

Hi Jonathan,
the press FN key twice is working for text dictation for me. It
doesn’t work for the commands I was using with the computer keywords like
“select all” or go to beginning.
I keep thinking it must be something I have done to mess this up as it
used to work nicely.
OK,
I got it working again.
I went to accessibility and dictation. I first went to the commands
table and unchecked and rechecked each item and . that seemed to give me back
most functions. I tried to check the advanced button in this area but it
didn’t seemed to stay checked
