Agreed. It would help if Kevin clarified, but yes, I was referring to an SD card, and as Maria realized, it seems Kevin wasn't.

Kevin's subject says flash drive, which is the same as a thumb drive which I don't think has such a slider. If I am incorrect I would appreciate further clarification.Norma -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Adrian Spratt Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2016 3:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] flash drive Maria, Thank you for the word 'switch," which is much more descriptive than my "button." I don't use a fingernail to move the switch. Instead, I locate the gap with the tip of my finger, then run my finger fairly hard against that side. You can tell when the switch moves. As for your apology, if there's any terminology confusion, I'm afraid I caused it. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Maria Campbell Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2016 3:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] flash drive You can disregard my previous message, as the switch I'm talking about is on flash cards not thumb drives.
