Re: MBP vs MBA VS...
I just upgraded my early 2009 model MBP to 5 gb, and can really see a change in speed from the original 2gb ram it came with. XPlane and ableton Live load up in a quarter of time, and I can have 4 tabs open in safari with 400mb ram free at any given time. with the 500 gb upgrade I also did to the HD, this machine will be good to carry me for another 3 or 4 years, even if the drive isn't an SSD.

http://tinyurl.com/c3jum9f This will take you to a CNet download. It seems that the makers of Stanza, Lexcycle, were bought out by Amazon in 2009, which is why it's a little tricky to find a download link.

Re: Experiencing Mail Problems.
The most reliable keystroke I use is command-VO-T to move between tables. Once you get to a conversation in the message table, press this keystroke to go to the message content table and interact with it. As you use VO arrows, the messages will be read with speech. To read them in Braille you would need to interact with each one.

Hi, This is kinda tricky. You can go about this 2 ways. You can split that section into a region and then delete it.

Re: MBP vs MBA VS...
This has not been answered so I'll give it a bash. There is more to consider here than just processor, all the MBA's have an SSD, solid state drive, and as such, notably out perform their native MBP units which are fitted with traditional SATA drives. Of course it is possible to up spec an MBP to include an SSD which removes this advantage, but, still its at an extra cost. RAM is the key to multi tasking, and depending on how many Applications, and what they are, 4Gb should be enough for the majority of users. If you are doing more heavy stuff, then you may wish for more, which immediately removes the MBA from the question, as it is limited to 4Gb. Quick note, this assumes you're getting not one of the very brand new MBA's which now can be speced up to 8Gb RAM. All in all, I don't consider the MBP worth going for on the bases of the disk drive, unless you need one of those all the time, if you occasionally might need one, just buy the USB Super Drive, its relatively cheap and keeps the weight of your portable machine down. I have an 11in MBA speced to the max, and find it more than aderquitely, in fact, I see no lag whatsoever when its in use. I generally have Mail Safari with 6+ tabs open, numbers, pages and text edit all on the go at the same time, and the MBA doesn't even fire up its fan. ask yourself what you're going to be doing with it, and how much work load that genuinely entails… now consider that the MBA is a notable amount lighter than the MBP and how much that may or may not bother you. cannot really say more than that on the topic.

Free Audiobook summer listening from SYNC YA
Hi All, For those of you who like to listen to audiobooks, over the next 8 weeks (from June 14, 2012 - August 22, 2012) the SYNC YA site will be offering two free audiobook titles for download each week. This is a combined effort between Audiobook Community and publishers to encourage reading among young adults, but anyone can register for these downloads. You will need to have OverDrive Media Console installed on your computer in order to download the audiobooks. This is the same free software that is used by many public libraries worldwide to support electronic downloads of audiobook content, and is very accessible in the Mac version and, I've heard, in the Windows version of the software, too. The schedule of downloads is listed at: http://www.audiobooksync.com/free-syn-downloads/schedule-of-free-downloads/ There are also links to sign up for email or text message reminder alerts on that page. About half the titles are offered with no international restrictions, and half have some international restrictions for users outside of the U.S. For example, in the first week, the L.A. Theatre Works production of "Grapes of Wrath" is available without restrictions while "The Eleventh Plague" from Scholastic Audiobooks is available to users in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Again, information on the availability of titles is given both on the download pages for individual titles, and on the summary page for "The Non-U.S. Listener" at: http://www.audiobooksync.com/free-syn-downloads/non-u-s-listener/ The OverDrive Media Console software is available for both your computer and as a free app for mobile device listening: http://www.overdrive.com/Software/omc/ Remember, you must actually download the mp3 audiobook files, and not just the non-expiring personal use token files for the books within the week that the books are offered. At any time after that you can transfer the files to another device for listening. HTH.

Re: odd question on mac sounds
Ricardo I have tried this, just to see and Ihave noticed a definite difference. VO is already snappy regardless of how you cut it but when you turn off those effects, if you have other things set right, the snappiness is right there. It's a nice contrast if you get tired of the sounds. And if you want them back on, then by all means you can go back in and turn them on. I love having those choices. Sorry had to chime in here and agree the snappy is definitely noticeable when the effects are muted or turned off.

Bluetooth Disconnects Spontaneously
Hi, all, I'm having a strange problem with my focus 40 Blue. Bluetooth disconnects, especially after hours of not using the computer. When I go into VO Braille settings, it just says "disconnected" and won't reconnect. Sometimes I have to restart the computer to get the Braille display to connect. Anyone else experience this? I have no idea whether it's a display or a bluetooth problem.

Re: Awareness
Hi, Yes it only works with headphones otherwise what would be the point? What it is supposed to do is make it possible for you to hear what's coming through your headphones but also what's happening around you so the headphones don't shut all the sound out if you have loud music playing. I never found the app useful, but I haven't tried it in awhile.

Re: ColorVisor update to Version 1.1
I have a quick question. I don't have this app yet, so can't test this: how does it work in different light? For instance, will it know my green shirt from my yellow regardless of whether I am in florecent or incandescent light? I don't have an iPhone, and my iPod has no flash, so I can't give it a constant light source.

Re: The thunderbolt update.
Morning all, By the time I got around to installing the updates, that one wasn't among them. Haven't heard anything about Apple pulling it though, so to those who run across it, proceed carefully, because by all accounts, the only way around the errors it causes is to re-install.

Re: airdrop
Hello again! Well, in order to use both Finder Windows, The Airdrop and the files one, you just need to change from one window to an other with Command and the key at the wright of the letter P. In spanish keyboards is an accent, but I am not sure which is de symbol on an english one, this is why I say where is that key. To drag the files do this: 1. Open Airdrop on Finder and let it find the Airdrops in range. 2. Open the Finder window where you have the file you want to transfer and select the file. 3. Make a Vo coma on that file. 4. press Command + the key next to the letter p and you will be brought back to your airdrop window. 5. Interact with the airdrop until you here the name of the destination computer and then press Vo period to drop the file. With this, you will here the dragging sound and then the send dialog will appear to ask if you want to send that file. You hit Send and there you go. I hope that I am more clear on this, and feel free to ask if that is not the case. Cheers! SALUDOS, DANIELA R.T. MACNETICOS, APPLE Y ACCESIBILIDAD A TU ALCANCE.

Re: airdrop
Hi Daniela Rubio, Thank you for the explanation of airdrop. I've seen this come by a number of times, but there is one important aspect that never became clear to me. I hope you can explain a little more about it. Here's what I do, and where I go wrong. 1. I open airdrop on both Lion macs. 2. On the source mac, from where I want to send files, I look in the grid by interacting with it, and I find the other, destination mac. 3. Now, I need to drag files over to it, and there is a problem. In order for a drag and drop to work, you must have both the file window from which you are dragging, as well as the airdrop window into which you are dropping, open on the source mac, simultaneously. How do I do that? In finder, as far as I understand it now, you have a sidebar on the left, and a main area on the right. When viewing a folder full of files, the window on the right is taken up by the files. When you start airdrop by hitting command shift r, this area is instead taken up by the airdrop window. Is this a misconception of mine? How can you have both airdrop and a finder window with files open at the same time? Paul.

I believe it stops. But that being said, firmware updates, security updates, etc continue after they stop releasing actual OS version updates. I think they just stopped supporting tiger like a year ago for example.

Re: Awareness
Hello Chris. When Awareness first came out, Mark Taylor did a podcast and interviewed the Developer as he did not know that this App would benefit the low vision community as there was no support for Boice Over but it was done once Mark had interviewed him so all credit to Mark for making the developer aware.

Re: The thunderbolt update.
Hi, Thanks. This actually happened to my friend earlier. I had to help them get Lion back up and running.
