Hi listers, I started using CrashPlan. It's an off-site backup solution, not expensive, and very attractive. The idea is that you have all your stuff automatically and continually backed up, just like you can do with time machine, but now to a data center that holds your data. If something would ever happen to your place, where the backup hard disk is normally stored, then you would be out of luck. With this online but off-site solution, you're safe. You can even do t n o, which is trust no one encryption, where you specify a password with which the data will be encrypted before being sent off to the CrashPlan data centers, so only you can open the backup archive if you need to. Just a matter of having that possibility, rather than really needing it as a normal home person. Their little client program is cross platform, so it runs in windows and the mac, as well as another few systems.
Sometimes on the mac, I find well labeled buttons in this java program, that I can not activate using vo space. Using the vo command f5 keystroke to route the mouse to the vo cursor, and then hitting vo shift space, sometimes does the job, depending on which button you're on. What I want to know is this. It happens that I move the mouse to the vo cursor, and voiceover perfectly speaks the text I think I moved the mouse to. However, when clicking the mouse, either using the trackpad corner or vo shift space, the mouse pointer appears to be on the apple menu, for that is what opens then, and not the dialog behind the button I was trying to click. Does any of you know how to handle this type of situation? There is a button, you vo space it, nothing happens. You route the mouse to the vo cursor, you vo shift space, and something completely unrelated opens, though VoiceOver speaks the text I moved the mouse to. What's going on here? Is this java specific? Any other ideas? Regards, Paul. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
