Hi Vic, I do own this Jam Pack and I quite like it. I am especially impressed with the string and woodwind instruments, and the percussion section has a lot of variety. I am certainly glad I bought it. Cheers, Chantelle On 01/01/2012, at 9:13 AM, Victor Tsaran wrote: > Hello GB users, >

Hi Ray, You need to be focussed on the status field of the contact, similar to when sorting by a column in Mail etc I think. That's what I did and it seemed to work. My online contacts then appeared at the top of the list and the others below. Cheers, Chantelle On 11/08/2011, at 3:21 PM,

Hi Everyone, I only just saw this thread, so hopefully I don’t repeat too much of what’s already been said. Mac Journal has been a wonderful app for me. I have been using it for the past four years with no issues. The iOS app used to be somewhat inaccessible, but I tried it again over the we

Hi Kawal, I know exactly what you mean and I found a solution. If you go into VoiceOver Utility, under the Braille category, there is a checkbox labeled "Use dots 7 and 8 to indicate cursor". I turned that option off and it gave me normal six dot braille. However, that means you no longer se
