Latest Serotek blog post and the comment I left them.
Revving Up for the Road Ahead Serotek is undergoing some changes to better meet your needs as a digital consumer. The assistive technology industry has been shifting for a while now, and it would be foolish to believe yesterday’s formula will continue to work in today’s age of wearable technology, smart homes, and interconnected media. Understandably, there may be questions about the longevity of the products and services you have come to rely on. For years Serotek has thought outside the box to deliver the most affordable solutions with the best customer and product support, and there are no plans to reverse this pattern of innovation to meet you where you need us. You may also be wondering about the future of the SeroTalk Podcast Network, arguably one of the leading content providers on all things technology. There is a time to cover headlines, and there is a time to create them. As long as the community remains interested, SPN will evolve alongside its parent company. For now, we have to deal with the reality of blunt, but truthful, comments such as that left by one loyal customer who wondered if we were finally going to stop socializing on the podcasts and finally get back to product development. Given the number of conflicting rumors surrounding the popular platform, the story is this: Ownership of SPN was offered to Joe Steinkamp and Ricky Enger under a highly attractive earn-out formula. Serotek offered to continue financing the website, podcast, and production and platform hosting required to maintain a consistent user experience. Serotek is aware of the value they provided to the community. Unfortunately, they elected not to accept this offer. The Serotek team has no doubt Joe and Ricky will be a valuable asset to the community in other capacities and wish them all the best in their new endeavors. Our goals were not to eliminate people, but rather, to realign the company structure and shift company functions that are hindering growth, steps that were required to keep Serotek from becoming one more casualty of the new landscape. It is unfortunate that three other teammates abruptly opted to follow other directions, but we respect their choices and also wish them the absolute best in whatever they pursue. Change is sometimes a scary prospect. Yet change moved us away from the cell phone to the smart phone, from the TV to the tablet, and from yesterday’s computer to today’s cloud. We’re working hard to keep you in the middle of it, where you belong. Contrary to competing rumors, Serotek is not down for the count. We’re squarely in your corner and ready to meet the next phase with the same fervor we’re well known for. Stay tuned. The best is on its way, and you are going to be a part of it. Understandably, one's business model must change with the evolution of technology. However, dissemination of information and resources through your many podcasts came to be a staple in the lives of many people within the blind community. given the national and international listenership you had, I cannot believe there would not be someone or a group to form a partnership that would've taken ownership of that network in order to keep that resource alive. Not everyone who listened to the podcasts were home, collecting a check. Per your blog, Joe and Ricky were offered ownership of the network. Why was it strictly limited to Joe and Ricky? What you have to realize, is that within those podcasts kept your product name alive among consumers. why keep Iblink radio? The majority of what is on Iblink radio can be found within other services. if it is only going to serve as a vehicle to distribute material I can get elsewhere, it's not worth taking the space on my phone, my Mac, or my iPad. I personally since the inception of the monthly subscription service have wanted to sign up for it, however it is not available for Mac. I refuse to pull out my windows machine for one program. from everything I was told, one cannot participate in Samnet chat via Mac. however, given the way this specific change was handled, even if you made it for Mac I'm afraid to sign up for it. How would I know the rug wouldn't be pulled out from under me without notice? Any reputable corporation gives its customer base notice of its changes. we as participants, listeners, and/or consumers of your product were at least owed a thank you from your podcast team for our support of the network. I personally, do not have to know the backstory of everyone's business. However, if I am a regular contributor/supporter, at least I want to know, if the service ends, I'm appreciated. that is why I see your blog post as nothing more than saving face. Who, in their right mind, is going to be able to trust you developing any future services having had the type of shakeup you had with no notice to the community? If in fact this happened the way you say it did with Joe and Ricky having

Re: Finder Podcast Part 1
Your link is broken! When I read your message about Part 1 of your Finder podcast, I hit VO-space on the link to your episode and that takes me to Safari but the page never fills. I just get an empty HTML page and interaction is impossible. Any way you might use an rss feed with audio enclosures instead of stupid send space? files expire on sendspace quite soon.

Re: Anyone into Wine? (the software, not the drink)
I got a couple of games to work with wine bottler, even managed to install the sapi package. However I struggled somewhat with getting installing the VB6 runtimes to work which caused directX 8 games, like the kitchensinc stuff not to work. Other things like super egg hunt plus, swamp which used DX7 and a couple of Japanese hsp games like world of war ran fine. The biggest issue for me is the sound lag, which if I recall was about half a second. For fast games this is a very long time. Maybe there's a way to reduce this, but all I managed to find through web searches refered to reducing alsa buffers in linux but nothing relating to mac. As far as accessibility obviously if the app in question has a user interface, VoiceOver will see just its title. The frontends themselves work well enough, for wine bottler, which is the one I'm most familiar with, you have to simulate a mouse click to select winetrix packages to be included. Other than that the interface is straightforward enough. On 11/24/2014 2:10 PM, Anders Holmberg wrote: Hi! I am also intrested in this if someone got it to work.

Re: Audiobook builder.
Hi, I used to use Audiobook Builder quite a lot, mostly to convert audiobooks which I had bought and and / or been given as presents into a single file. I found it quite good for that purpose. When you open The application, first you have to choose to create a new project. Give it a name and save it where you can find it, i.e. documents. Once you have done this, you will have other choices available to you. First of all, you need to add files to your project. Look in the menus of the application in particular in the “audiobook” menu item for various options and shortcut keys. If you are adding files from a cd, you have to choose “import cd” options. So if I had a book that was recorded on 3 cds, I would import them all one by one into the new project. Then you finish importing and choose various options how you’d like to have your book created. This will require some learning, because you will have various options which you need to press. Once you’ve decided, you choose the last options to build your book. If you had chosen to have your book sent into itunes, this will what will happen. You will have a playlist called “audiobook builder’ amongst your playlists in itunes. Audiobook builder will put all the books there. Incidentally, you can choose what format you want your book to be: mp3 or m4a. Hope this will help you a little. Audiobook Builder has a help item in its menu bar. Best wishes Andrew On 24 Nov 2014, at 13:07, Anders Holmberg and...@pipkrokodil.se wrote: Hi! Has anyone used the audio book builder app?

Re: Apple Scripts
Hi guys I would like to say that I really appreciate the effort that has been put into making these Apple scripts available. Please keep up the wonderful work. I got the battery one to work finally. It didn’t at first because it took me a while to figure out I had to put in the key into where VoiceOver said blank. I knew I needed one, but at first I couldn’t figure out how to get the correct key to go with the command. I read the manual like it was suggested, but I guess I wrong place because I couldn’t find the right thing in there.

Re: weird mac air issue when upgrading
Just a follow up to this.. I did try the window chooser and again, nothing happened. Afraid to just power off the mac air, I let it sit there a little while, but finally did power it off and waited about 30 seconds, turned it on again, and when it came up, I again got the set up assistant, but it went through whatever it had to finish setting up really fast and then everything was normal again.

Other things like super egg hunt plus, swamp which used DX7 and a couple of Japanese hsp games like world of war ran fine. The biggest issue for me is the sound lag, which if I recall was about half a second. For fast games this is a very long time. Maybe there's a way to reduce this, but all I managed to find through web searches refered to reducing alsa buffers in linux but nothing relating to mac. As far as accessibility obviously if the app in question has a user interface, VoiceOver will see just its title. The frontends themselves work well enough, for wine bottler, which is the one I'm most familiar with, you have to simulate a mouse click to select winetrix packages to be included.

Re: Seeking file management software for backup strategy
Just as a follow up to my own inquiry, I think that time machine with a airport time capsule unit is exactly what I need. I currently have a fairly elaborate software setup on the windows side via fusion to do essentially what time machine does, only I can only go back 7 days. Using a time capsule will give me version control without all the hassle. It’ll run me a few hundred dollars, but I think it’ll be worth it.

Re: Latest Serotek blog post and the comment I left them.
Hi Pamela. I agree with everything you said. Have you considered saying what you've said to Serotek directly? Sent from my iPhone On Nov 24, 2014, at 3:30 AM, Pamela Francis gypsykitt...@gmail.com wrote: Revving Up for the Road Ahead Serotek is undergoing some changes to better meet your needs as a digital consumer. The assistive technology industry has been shifting for a while now, and it would be foolish to believe yesterday’s formula will continue to work in today’s age of wearable technology, smart homes, and interconnected media. Understandably, there may be questions about the longevity of the products and services you have come to rely on. For years Serotek has thought outside the box to deliver the most affordable solutions with the best customer and product support, and there are no plans to reverse this pattern of innovation to meet you where you need us. You may also be wondering about the future of the SeroTalk Podcast Network, arguably one of the leading content providers on all things technology. There is a time to cover headlines, and there is a time to create them. As long as the community remains interested, SPN will evolve alongside its parent company. For now, we have to deal with the reality of blunt, but truthful, comments such as that left by one loyal customer who wondered if we were finally going to stop socializing on the podcasts and finally get back to product development. Given the number of conflicting rumors surrounding the popular platform, the story is this: Ownership of SPN was offered to Joe Steinkamp and Ricky Enger under a highly attractive earn-out formula. Serotek offered to continue financing the website, podcast, and production and platform hosting required to maintain a consistent user experience. Serotek is aware of the value they provided to the community. Unfortunately, they elected not to accept this offer. The Serotek team has no doubt Joe and Ricky will be a valuable asset to the community in other capacities and wish them all the best in their new endeavors. Our goals were not to eliminate people, but rather, to realign the company structure and shift company functions that are hindering growth, steps that were required to keep Serotek from becoming one more casualty of the new landscape. It is unfortunate that three other teammates abruptly opted to follow other directions, but we respect their choices and also wish them the absolute best in whatever they pursue. Change is sometimes a scary prospect. Yet change moved us away from the cell phone to the smart phone, from the TV to the tablet, and from yesterday’s computer to today’s cloud. We’re working hard to keep you in the middle of it, where you belong. Contrary to competing rumors, Serotek is not down for the count. We’re squarely in your corner and ready to meet the next phase with the same fervor we’re well known for. Stay tuned. The best is on its way, and you are going to be a part of it. Understandably, one's business model must change with the evolution of technology. However, dissemination of information and resources through your many podcasts came to be a staple in the lives of many people within the blind community. given the national and international listenership you had, I cannot believe there would not be someone or a group to form a partnership that would've taken ownership of that network in order to keep that resource alive. Not everyone who listened to the podcasts were home, collecting a check. Per your blog, Joe and Ricky were offered ownership of the network. Why was it strictly limited to Joe and Ricky? What you have to realize, is that within those podcasts kept your product name alive among consumers. why keep Iblink radio? The majority of what is on Iblink radio can be found within other services. if it is only going to serve as a vehicle to distribute material I can get elsewhere, it's not worth taking the space on my phone, my Mac, or my iPad. I personally since the inception of the monthly subscription service have wanted to sign up for it, however it is not available for Mac. I refuse to pull out my windows machine for one program. from everything I was told, one cannot participate in Samnet chat via Mac. however, given the way this specific change was handled, even if you made it for Mac I'm afraid to sign up for it. How would I know the rug wouldn't be pulled out from under me without notice? Any reputable corporation gives its customer base notice of its changes. we as participants, listeners, and/or consumers of your product were at least owed a thank you from your podcast team for our support of the network. I personally, do not have to know the backstory of everyone's business. However, if I am a regular contributor/supporter, at least I want to know, if the service ends, I'm appreciated. that is why I see

Hi Paul, Thank you for your response. It is nice to know someone else has had the issue. I will do as you suggested and disable it.

Re: vmware fusion an oops
The terminology can get a bit confusing at times. Generally they call the overall machine's operating system the host OS. So in your case your host is OSX. The virtual machine is called the guest OS which could be Windows, Linux or anything else that runs on an Intel chip. I think you can even download pre-configured vmware linux guest images.

Re: Browsing and restoring prior versions in textedit, pages etc
I have just had a play with the revert feature. Basically I created four different versions of short document all with the same text except to say they said first version, second version etc. I think the problem is that the revert feature console has some un labelled button next to the file version which is confusingly On described by voiceover as a vertical slider. As far as I can see there is no way of sliding anything unless it relates to the date. Of course all my document versions were created today. However by constantly bringing up window chooser to switch to the revert console I found I was able to retreat to previous versions of my document by pressing the first of these unlabelled buttons. To see the impact of hitting this button you need to bring up Window Chooser again.. Essentially when I brought up window chooser I had three items. 1. Revert Console 2. The previous Version of the document brought up by hitting the un labelled button.. 3. The current version of the document. I found that by repeatedly hitting the un labelled button I was able to eventually march the document in window 2 back to the original version of the document I created. In window 3 I always had the latest version of the document. Thats as far as I took my playing with this but I note that there are also restore and done buttons on the Revert console which presumably do what they say they do. am a little tired tonight but if I have more of a play later tomorrow I might be able to offer more help.

Re: Browsing and restoring prior versions in textedit, pages etc
I did the same thing just a few minutes ago, creating four versions of a document with a single line of text saying, “this is line x” where x is the version #, and doing a manual save after each change to x. I have found the following very accessible means of browsing and restoring previous versions of a given document. 1 First, each time you save your work by pressing Command-S, or by closing a document, it seems a new version is created. Next, using the window chooser Command - F2-F2, I found several windows, first was a choice for the extras menu, which only seems to close out the version control window and return you to the document - kind of like a canceling effect. I don’t know why its there, but I just ignore it for now. 3 The other windows are the browser control window - this is where you can browse through the various versions. the next window in the chooser list is the currently displayed document version. finally, the last window in the chooser list is the version pointed to in the browser control slider - usually the current version. 4 Select the browser control window and there you will find that by interacting with the slider, you will be able to VO arrow right and left through the various versions. The most recent version is leftmost in the slider, and the rightmost is the oldest version. In my case, with four versions, the slider contained four distinct positions. So, the number of positions available in the slider corresponds to the number of versions with the leftmost being newest and the rightmost being the oldest. 5 You can’t actually review the document in the browser control window. You have to set the slider to the desired version and then use the window chooser again, to select “current version” which will be the version the slider is pointing to. Then you can review the document (no editing available at this point) and see if its the version you want. I don’t know if you then have to go back into the browser controls to make it the current document, but that’s a small point that can be figured out. you can also use the browser controls to delete versions that you don’t want. Deleting a version changes the number of slider positions in the browser control slider to reflect the new number of versions. I was easily able to select each of the four versions, by counting backward through the versions in the slider, correctly predicting which version would appear when chosen via the window chooser. The other buttons in the browser dialog are self-explanatory. I’m very happy to see this versioning facility is available to us. Now, I just have to remember to “save my work” after every brilliant idea or completed section of work. If you don’t do a manual save, you can’t retrieve that work through the versioning controls. tomorrow I go to the Apple store to pick up a time capsule. These two solutions working in tandem should give me all the file backup I’m looking for. Maybe “reverting to prior document versions” would make a good topic for a podcast.

OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones
Hi all, I'm looking to replace my current headphones. They were $10 or $20 from Radio Shack, but have been working great for at least eight years. They still work perfectly, in fact, but the cushions on the speakers are gone and those around the cups are falling apart. Needless to say, they are pretty uncomfortable to wear for more than an hour or so. I'd use them for music, audio editing, and audio gaming, so I want something comfortable for hours on end and of good sound and build quality. Here are the things I'm looking for: * under $100, if possible * high quality build, good sound * comfortable for extended use * wired connection, preferably 3.5mm * Only one plug - no use having a microphone plug since my Macbook only has one audio jack * noise-muffling, though true noise cancelation is not necessary (basically, I don't care about hearing sounds around me with these) I think that'll do it. As I said, I'm not waring these while out for a walk or carting them around, so they can be big and block ambient noises. My Aftershokz are great for use with my iPhone, but for real audio on the Mac, I want something good that I can wear for a long time.

Hi Alex, It all depends on your price range. I'm a huge fan of Senheizer headphones, Sony's are nice too. Of course, if you really want to get expensive, Bose headphones, or even Beats by Dre.

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones
I like my urban ears headphones that I got at the Apple Store there the over the ear type kind of like beats, but they are a little bit more retro looking, looking sort of like headphones used to look in the 1920s but way more comfortable and the bass, is freaking awesome! And they fold up too! Egun On, Lagunak!

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones
Hi Alex, For audio editing, I use around-the-ear headphones, Sony MDRV6s, that sound great. They have a reputation for having a sound that doesn't mask the qualities of the original audio source. I wouldn't exactly call them mobile headphones, though they do fold up for transport or storage. For something a little lighter, I'd recommend the Sennheiser PX200, on-the-ear closed cup headphones. Sennheiser makes these with an in-line remote and microphone for use with iOS devices and Macs. Both are more towards the top of your budget but well worth it in my opinion.

Re: Browsing and restoring prior versions in textedit, pages etc
Having spent a little more time using the version control dialog/window, I have found that you can review previous versions either by setting the slider control to a version and then using the window chooser to bring up that version window, or, by restoring a copy of the currently selected version. This is done by doing an option click on the restore button. Route the mouse to the restore button, then press the option key, and when you hear “restore a copy”, press the mouse pad to do a mouse click. This will create a second window in the app containing a copy of the selected version and you can command tab back and forth between it, and the current version. Doing so closes the version control dialog, so you’ll have to bring it up again from the file menu. On Nov 24, 2014, at 4:58 PM, Phil Halton philh...@gmail.com wrote: I did the same thing just a few minutes ago, creating four versions of a document with a single line of text saying, “this is line x” where x is the version #, and doing a manual save after each change to x. I have found the following very accessible means of browsing and restoring previous versions of a given document. 1 First, each time you save your work by pressing Command-S, or by closing a document, it seems a new version is created. Next, using the window chooser Command - F2-F2, I found several windows, first was a choice for the extras menu, which only seems to close out the version control window and return you to the document - kind of like a canceling effect. I don’t know why its there, but I just ignore it for now. 3 The other windows are the browser control window - this is where you can browse through the various versions. the next window in the chooser list is the currently displayed document version. finally, the last window in the chooser list is the version pointed to in the browser control slider - usually the current version. 4 Select the browser control window and there you will find that by interacting with the slider, you will be able to VO arrow right and left through the various versions. The most recent version is leftmost in the slider, and the rightmost is the oldest version. In my case, with four versions, the slider contained four distinct positions. So, the number of positions available in the slider corresponds to the number of versions with the leftmost being newest and the rightmost being the oldest. 5 You can’t actually review the document in the browser control window. You have to set the slider to the desired version and then use the window chooser again, to select “current version” which will be the version the slider is pointing to. Then you can review the document (no editing available at this point) and see if its the version you want. I don’t know if you then have to go back into the browser controls to make it the current document, but that’s a small point that can be figured out. you can also use the browser controls to delete versions that you don’t want. Deleting a version changes the number of slider positions in the browser control slider to reflect the new number of versions. I was easily able to select each of the four versions, by counting backward through the versions in the slider, correctly predicting which version would appear when chosen via the window chooser. The other buttons in the browser dialog are self-explanatory. I’m very happy to see this versioning facility is available to us. Now, I just have to remember to “save my work” after every brilliant idea or completed section of work. If you don’t do a manual save, you can’t retrieve that work through the versioning controls. tomorrow I go to the Apple store to pick up a time capsule. These two solutions working in tandem should give me all the file backup I’m looking for. Maybe “reverting to prior document versions” would make a good topic for a podcast.

Basically I created four different versions of short document all with the same text except to say they said first version, second version etc. I think the problem is that the revert feature console has some un labelled button next to the file version which is confusingly On described by voiceover as a vertical slider. As far as I can see there is no way of sliding anything unless it relates to the date. Of course all my document versions were created today. However by constantly bringing up window chooser to switch to the revert console I found I was able to retreat to previous versions of my document by pressing the first of these unlabelled buttons. To see the impact of hitting this button you need to bring up Window Chooser again.. Essentially when I brought up window chooser I had three items. 1. Revert Console 2.

Re: OT: looking for recommendations for good headphones
Thanks guys. I looked on Amazon, and the Sony ones are $85, but with 4.6 out of 5 stars and nearly 1800 reviews. Given that both are within my price range, would you say the Sennheiser or Sony is better? I'd love to have the quality of the Sony pair, but I'm a bit worried that they'll bring out imperfections in game audio I don't currently hear. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but I've never used a high-quality set of headphones except for stage monitoring while playing with a band. Might the Sony headphones reveal things about my audio I'd rather not know? smile I can only get one or the other. Plus, as I said, I have to be able to wear them for hours at a time with minimal discomfort.

Sennheiser makes these with an in-line remote and microphone for use with iOS devices and Macs. Both are more towards the top of your budget but well worth it in my opinion.

They were $10 or $20 from Radio Shack, but have been working great for at least eight years. They still work perfectly, in fact, but the cushions on the speakers are gone and those around the cups are falling apart. Needless to say, they are pretty uncomfortable to wear for more than an hour or so. I'd use them for music, audio editing, and audio gaming, so I want something comfortable for hours on end and of good sound and build quality. Here are the things I'm looking for: * under $100, if possible * high quality build, good sound * comfortable for extended use * wired connection, preferably 3.5mm * Only one plug - no use having a microphone plug since my Macbook only has one audio jack * noise-muffling, though true noise cancelation is not necessary (basically, I don't care about hearing sounds around me with these) I think that'll do it. As I said, I'm not waring these while out for a walk or carting them around, so they can be big and block ambient noises. My Aftershokz are great for use with my iPhone, but for real audio on the Mac, I want something good that I can wear for a long time. Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone has. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Latest Serotek blog post and the comment I left them.
Well of course nobody is going to be completely forthcoming about their business, and unfortunately I haven't kept up with their feed, but look at Apple for example; they come out with new products on a regular basis, tell you just enough to tease, and that's just how they operate. We don't see any of the reps on their team copping attitudes with us if we ask questions about their products, they just tell us they can't tell us anything more than we already know, which may not be what we want to hear, it never is, but unfortunately, what is, is.

Re: Latest Serotek blog post and the comment I left them.
Hello They may have wiped their Twitter feed, yet the replies were directed at me. I was asking valid questions that made them defensive. Coming from a corporate account, it seemed to me One could have been a little more professional. They may have wiped their Twitter feed, yet they did not wipe mine. I was able to harvest all of the replies and my comments, I am in the process of aggregating everything in order to attempt to get a public apology for the way they treated me and others who were supporters and customers. I have someone who has agreed to help me post it in a public place where it can be seen by the right people. I'm not going to post those things on this list. That would get me nowhere. I posted the blog along with my comment, for informational purposes only. It was not meant to inflame anyone or defame anyone.

Handling an issue in iOS 8.1.1 where you can't type screen unlock code, phone number or a text message with a Bluetooth keyboard
Briefly, if you cannot type into your iPhone with a Bluetooth keyboard, temporarily turn off the quick navigation option. When the quick navigation option is on in iOS 8.1.1, no typing of digits or text can be done to text field. You need to activate the text field first to turn it off. When the screen is locked, however, there's no way to activate the input text field for the unlock code. Thus, to be able to type the unlock code, you need to manually turn off the quick navigation option, then type the unlock code, and then turn it on again for your convenience. FYI, the option can be toggled on and off with L1 and B7 combination with a RiVO keyboard, and the left and the right key combination with a normal Bluetooth keyboard. Likewise when you want to type phone numbers directly in the Keypad tab of Phone app, you cannot activate the input text field for phone numbers. You need to do the same procedure as above. If it still doesn't work out, try switching to other tabs like Recents tab, and then back to Keypad tab again. It has been a long-lasting iOS bug. Sometimes when you cannot type text into a text field after activating it, iOS seems to have a bug not to turn off the quick navigation option when you activate the text field. In this case you may follow the same procedure as above. The above can be found in the RiVO Troubleshooting Guide http://goo.gl/APVJWn as well as some other issues you might have while using the RiVO keyboard or any other Bluetooth keyboard. Thanks. Have a good day.

Logitech keyboard
I am trying to use a full-sized wireless Logitech solar powered keyboard with my Mac. However, I seem to have found a couple of issues. First, when I am in Duxbury on the Windows side, and press control F4 to close a document, it does not work. Instead, it brings up the global printer setup dialogue. And from the Mac side, pressing VO F8 to open VoiceOver utility also does not work as it is supposed to, or as it does using the laptop keyboard. Are there any fixes for this?

big thank-you
I just wanted to thank whomever suggested that I go into the virtual machine menu and select the connect printer portt option. I got the embosser working as soon as I fixed the option that for some reason had the printer trying to send the print jobs to the Mac rather than Windows. All is well now. My only aggravation now is that every time I open a previously created document, I have to reformat it. So I guess it isn’t exactly accurate that these embossers can only be used exclusively on boot camp. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

using NFB Newsline with Safari
HI all, Has anyone used the web news on demand section in NFB Newsline with Safari? I seem to be having trouble. Once I read an article, if I press command left bracket to go back a page, it gives me two or three pages of blank text before going back to the home page, in which case I am logged out, and have to log back in for every article I want to read.
