would make it a realistically usable screen reader. But the National

There is a new organization called the International Association of Visually

The real deal breaker was voiceover and nvda. Even if you buy the argument
that Microsoft might have driven FS and GWM out of business if they'd
improved narrator, FS and GWM are facing that same pressure as a result of
voiceover and nvda anyway.

in the end regardless of whether we agree or not is that you have the tools
to get the job done. That is one point I think we can both agree on.

I wouldn't count on the traditional style keyboard going out any time soon.
The technology to make a perfectly flat keyboard has been available for many
years. You probably have a perfectly flat control panel on your microwave
oven. It hasn't caught on for keyboards because people like being abl

The microphone jack is a little longer than that on a headset.

I can't find the beginning of this thread and I can't give any info about
watching TV on the Mac but for $5 you can buy a cable that allows you to
connect a VCR, DVD player, or a digital converter box to the sound input
jack of your Mac. I don't have a TV any more. I just have a converter box.
I am thinking of selling my Pac Mate in favor of an iphone. My main question

I've been trying unsuccessfully to get the Macs in my department to

upgraded one machine to snowleopard hoping it would work better. But now I
