Hi Chris,
Here's a link to the mail archive post I sent yesterday about the 4G
setup:
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg43300.html
I can search the mail-archve faster than I can search my email inbox.
I keep a link to the Mail Archives posts:
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/
Actually, I used the "Weblocmaker" freeware to make a web link to
these archives.
In the case of the first link, I tabbed when I went to the archives
page and typed:
"nano 4G language gotchas"
without the quotation marks, then pressed enter and was taken directly
to the web page with the post.
The "Weblocmaker" post was in reply to one of your questions, Chris,
but to get to that post at:
http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg42602.html
I entered "weblocmaker Leopard" at the search entry box you tab to,
pressed return, and did a VO-right to the
link for the first of 3 results that came up.
There are obviously other search term combinations you can use and it
helps that I typed these particular posts. But I use this all the
time, and I'm giving you actual examples of what I type and what comes
up. It takes far longer to type out these instructions than it does
to run the searches.
Furthermore, if you're using Safari (regular Safari and not the Webkit
nightly builds), you can use their access keys to navigate to and read
the posts related to these messages. Control-N lets me read the next
post in the thread, which is your reply, Chris, in the case of the
Weblocmaker post. Control-P lets me read the previous post in the
thread, and I can quickly go back and forth to trace out the earlier
discussion.
This functionality also worked in the Webkit nightly builds up to a
few weeks ago. I filed a bug report with "bugzilla" about the Webkit
builds, because someone changed the access key combination to "Control-
Option" instead of "Control" -- and that puts the access key sequence
directly in conflict with VoiceOver's main keys. "Control-I" to get
an indexed list of all current Mail Archive posts ordered by date now
maps to the item chooser menu. "Control-F", to search post forward in
time by date (with counterpart "Control-B" to search back in time by
date) now maps to "Control-Option-F", which is a find command.
"Control-C" which lists the posts by content order (threaded mode --
the default when you read the page), maps to "Control-Option-C" which
inspects the character, etc.
Cheers,
Esther

David, I'm not the best at searching the list archives. I'd be more
than willing to r t f m if you could give me a link to the archived
msg. Sorry, my e-mail is doing something weird, so I lost a lotta
mail the past few days that has come in.
Sorry about that.
Chris.

It is farily easy to do the steps were posted yesterday and a while
back by

since mine is
already set up.

Ewww, is that fairly easy to do? I mean, setting the language?

For vo users, the nano will be speech enabled by default. The
problem
comes
in that you have to set the language before you hook it to the
computer.
The plastic box it comes in is easy to open, you just remove the
tape from
one end and the other end has tape that acts as a hinge. no
distruction
of
packing necessary.

Subject: IPod Nano Question
Hey guys,
I have a few real quick questions. I'm gonna be getting the IPod
8 gig
Nano
with the speech today. I'm sitting here now waiting on Fedex. It's
apparently on the truck for delivery. In any rate, I'm curious:
Will I
have to enable the speech, as I seem to remember someone saying
that you
do,
however, a friend of mine, is now telling me no, it's enabled by
default,
so, I was just wanting a little clarification. Also, does this
thing come
with ear buts? Finally, is the packaging quite easy to get into?
It's
not
a stupid plastic blister pack, that you gotta break into with either
scissors or a knife, I hope.
Chris.
