This is true what mister Mike is saying. Note to folks doing a tandem session over Skype or some other VOIP type of system. Years ago it was no large deal for me to run a single sound card for all of my computing needs but then I started helping out a guy with sinus trouble over Skype. The result was I had to have him move his microphone because he was drowning out everything I needed to hear. Now all of my systems have a dedicated sound card for JAWS and I even have a couple of extras on the shelf just in case. Nothing fancy at all, just a $12.95 card so I can do what I have to do. The other case is when the person you are helping won't stop chattering, and you have to turn their volume down to hear JAWS. Mike is easy to work with I must point out, he asks questions of course but that is only because he wants to understand what is being done to his system.
So far as to the contents of his stomach I have no idea.

I'm almost positive that at 1 time David Ferrin or Rick Justice & I were doing a Tandem session, with either of them being the controlling computer, & we used Notepad to communicate back & forth with 1 another. We were on the phone with each other, but I think we were playing around to see if this Notepad back & forth communication would work. Personally, whenever I've done a Tandem session with someone both parties are always using telephone contact just so the controlling computer person can explain to the target computer person exactly what the controller is doing, so the target computer / person doesn't freak out hearing a bunch of computer lingo that they might not be used to hearing or understanding what's happening. As far as the Notepad communication, hopefully Señor Ferrin or Señor Justice will chime in to confirm what I'm saying about how it might work or, to say I'm full of .....LOL Take care.
