Re: [Blind-Computing] audio text books
Obviously, publishers fear file sharing more than your frustration as students. THe bottom line controls everything. I know a textbook author who was tricked into a royalty contract with a major text publisher, a contract that would give him royalties if the book sold. BUt the contract did not promise that the publisher would even publish the book. They didn't. They already had a text that they preferred to publish so, in effect, they bought the competition , di not publish it and were home free. The writer had, in effect, given his work to them.

[Blind-Computing] How old is Grandpa
Let me add that the President of the United States is only 48 years old How Old Is Grandpa? [] Stay with this -- the answer is at the end. It will blow you away. One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events. The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.. The Grandfather replied, Well, let me think a minute, I was born before: ' television ' penicillin ' polio shots ' frozen foods ' Xerox ' contact lenses ' Frisbees and ' the pill There were no: ' credit cards ' laser beams or ' ball-point pens Man had not invented: ' pantyhose ' air conditioners ' dishwashers ' clothes dryers ' and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and ' man hadn't yet walked on the moon [] Your Grandmother and I got married first, .. ... and then lived together.. Every family had a father and a mother. Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, Sir. And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, Sir. We were before, computer- dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy. Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense. We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions. Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.. We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent. Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins. Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started. Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums. [] We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings. We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on our radios. And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey. If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam.. Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of. We had 5 10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents. Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel. And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards. You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, . .. . but who could afford one? Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon. In my day: ' grass was mowed, ' coke was a cold drink, ' pot was something your mother cooked in and ' rock music was your grandmother's lullaby. ' Aids were helpers in the Principal's office, ' chip meant a piece of wood, ' hardware was found in a hardware store and ' software wasn't even a word. [] And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby. No wonder people call us old and confused and say there is a generation gap. And how old do you think I am? I bet you have this old man in mind...you are in for a shock! Read on to see -- pretty scary if you think about it and pretty sad at the same time. Are you ready ? This person would be only 59 years old. For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [Blind-Computing] Upgrading from XP to Windows 7
Mike, I beg your pardon, but age is really irrelevant in generalizing about people's capacities. Age doesn't make me wiser than a `26 year old; nor does age make me a doddering old fool who can't learn any longer. I am older but I wouldn't label myself as elderly.I cannot, however, run and on some days just taking the garbage out is an all day endeavor. But I have a wealth of experience and reading beehind me and I continue to add to it. I can only hope that people who are younger than I will look past the halting of step and realize that I probably can structure a valid argument better than i could when I was in my twenties. So Chris and others just had a learning experience that should make them stop and think the next time they make age assumptions that blanket all older people.

Re: [Blind-Computing] hai kindly guide
What are these wrong spellings? Do you mean t h e r e and t h e i r types of differences? You need, of course, to know the differences in meaning so as to type them correctly and then to double check and choose the correct word when the choices appear. I really don't think the data base of words includes wrong spellings if that is what you mean.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Concerning virus protection, anti this that and the other ware
Drop avg in any form, especially a paid version from which you will get only headaches. I use microsoft security essentials from microsoft.com.
