Re: [Mac-Access]: Detecting colour on the Mac
Anne, Thanks for that. I thought that was the case. Since if you are editing documents or programming. Not knowing the indent is something that is very hard on the author. There are workarounds of course, but they are not very effective and interrupt your workflow.

If you set the zoom to 200% the information won’t be dreadfully inaccurate, but it won’t be precise either. I’ve been complaining to Apple about this for several years. Cheers, Anne

I'm not going to be testing this as I'm going to be busy, but hopefuly someone can and will test for accessibility under the mac platform and see if it is accessible. This would be good if I were on antohr machine with out skype, or what not.

Re: [Mac-Access]: message from the list owner, please read
Huge sigh... Don't remove me for now. We'll see how things go, but I do expect going forward for things to hopefully run more smoothely. Thank you for finally looking into this. It's a shame that so many people had to get on you about this, before anything was done, but as long as you're at this point willing to step up and really truely try getting things back together, I'm willing to give things one, and one? only! final chance. I'm sorry for being so hard on ya, but as a system server administrator myself, you can hopefully to some degree understand why I was so. In your defense, Voiceover not reading those edit boxes could certainly be an issue, and if indeed it can add people multiple times, therefore sending out multiple e-mail copies, then boy oh boy! That's a bug that really! needs to be addressed, like, yesterday! As I said, I'll stay for now, but I genuinely trust this isn't going to hopefully happen again in the foreseeable future.

Firstly, please understand that this was in no way a deliberate act on my part. When I was configuring the list, VoiceOver did not reveal the refreshed edit boxes when I added your addresses. Therefore, I thought that they hadn’t actually been added, so I added them again. This happened twice before the boxes’ contents were displayed to me, and I thought that the job was done. However, unbeknown to me, the addresses were added three times over. This is why you’ve had difficulty and in some cases have received multiple copies of the messages. Please accept my most sincere apologies for the inconvenience. I am modifying the list as I speak, so that each member is only subscribed once. I am also taking out those addresses whose owners have requested that I do so. Those who have written to me threatening reprisals, (and there have been 3 of those), please know that I am removing you as you requested. I acknowledge though that this shouldn’t have happened. There should be error-trapping within the software to prevent it. I am taking this up with the developers. But I am also working urgently to address the issue. Those of you who do wish to remain on the list, please don’t worry if you get repeated welcome messages. If you get a message asking whether you want to join or not, then that is at your discretion. I am also taking steps to restore the support address so that these issues can be separated once again from my own inbox. My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: gor...@mac-access.net Accessibility Information Technology Support Specialist.
Re: [Mac-Access]: Is anyone still around this list?
You know, I never actually thought of that, but the first one of those is probably where it came from. Who knows. That isn't the point though.
