Re: [JAWS-Users] regarding the recent drop in list traffic
Hello David, Thank you and the team for a wonderful years of training, Let us all know, what you need to keep jaws-user running? Take care, Jorge -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Annette Carr Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2016 1:28 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] regarding the recent drop in list traffic Hi David, In my opinion, this list is not close to have run its course. I think that right now we are in a smooth sailing period with JAWS and most of the commonly used applications and no one is running into major issues. Of course you have faced the problem with mail compatibility, so I am not sure how many users that has impacted. I do think as soon as JAWS18 officially hits the streets there will be an increase in traffic, as well as when updates to commonly used products become available. I personally am very appreciative of the hard work and effort you and the team put into keeping this list up and running. I've learned a lot, and try to pay it back by contributing whenever possible. This list fills a gap that is not able to be filled by FS/VFO Technical Support on many levels. Please no one take that as a slam to FS/VFO. Thank you David & Team!

Re: [JAWS-Users] regarding the recent drop in list traffic
Hi Bob, Would you & Rick consider joining the Jaws-Users moderator labor union?! There's a fee of 25¢ every 10 years, which is refundable if, I, your fearless union negotiator cannot get you guys a better contract! I do understand thatthe the current list owner / manager is a very shrewd negotiator in his own right, & a slave driver as well but, with the outpour of all the list members maybe, just maybe, we can soften that heart just a touch! It will be hard to do, giving he looks out for the list members first & foremost! Now after sounding like a true politician / union leader, & blowing all kinds of smoke up your pant legs with false hopes & promises that you both know I can't fulfill, would you still consider joining the Jaws-Users moderators union for the measely fee of 25¢ per decade? I'm eagerly awaiting your replies in order to get this new union off the ground! Take care. Mike Sent from my, iBarstool.

Re: [JAWS-Users] coclear online store
When you select the log in link, it changes up your screen and you can find the log in button. You have to hit the log in button after the log in link to find the user name and password. So, use jaws fine, or insert f7 to locate the log in link. Hit enter. Then, use either b, or jaws find again to find the log in button. Then, hit enter.

Hi Tammy, Try the following to find out how much RAM you have installed: 1. Open your Control Panel. 2. Find, System Link, & press enter. 3. Move your Jaws cursor to the PC cursor. If you have a numpad the keystroke is, Insert / Jaws key + Jaws cursor / Numpad minus key. 4. Press, Control + Home key, to take the cursor to the top of the page. 5. Now, down arrow 1 line at a time & you'll come to a line that says, Installed Memory Ram xxxGB. This is the amount of ram you have. Take care. Mike Sent from my, iBarstool.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws jamming up my computer
I'm not sure how much ram this computer has. I find where it says "system information" but don't find information. As for what is running, Jaws and Outlook. Sometimes I'll have 1 document open. Now, it doesn't seem to take much to jam it up. I'm not doing anything different than I was before all of this started. I wish they would down size Jaws. It has grown into such a resource monster.

I just wanted to make sure that there was still an interest moving forward. I kind of thought there was but it does not hurt to confirm such things. Folks as much to my team and the fact that things have been so smooth on here for quite some time is why we are cruzing along starting our twelfth year next week. I don't believe it even as I type these words. The vast majority of you actually have no idea how much has gone on in the background with all of us over time. It is just that we work so well together things plow on. All of us have had medical issues and a couple of us have had shoulder surgery, rotator cuff to be exact. Last year my wife had a new heart valve installed and I was off the list for almost 8 weeks taking care of her. The guys did a great job because I would have been no help at all during that time. There were days that the only thing I did with this system was shut it off and nothing else at all. I'm not telling you this to garner sympathy or anything like that, rather to let you folks know that I work with the best couple of guys available. FYI don't tell Bob I said that, his ego is already the size of the grand canyon. Just kidding Bob, he is really a humble guy or so I'm told. So far as being blocked out what is really happening is that some services are blocking messages from this domain from being delivered to their customers and eventually Mailman removes them for bouncing messages. They are able to post messages, it is just they can't receive which is a major annoyance to say the least. I'm convinced that interest still rains supreme, thank you all for confirming that fact.

Re: [JAWS-Users] regarding the recent drop in list traffic
Hi David, In my opinion, this list is not close to have run its course. I think that right now we are in a smooth sailing period with JAWS and most of the commonly used applications and no one is running into major issues. Of course you have faced the problem with mail compatibility, so I am not sure how many users that has impacted. I do think as soon as JAWS18 officially hits the streets there will be an increase in traffic, as well as when updates to commonly used products become available. I personally am very appreciative of the hard work and effort you and the team put into keeping this list up and running. I've learned a lot, and try to pay it back by contributing whenever possible. This list fills a gap that is not able to be filled by FS/VFO Technical Support on many levels. Please no one take that as a slam to FS/VFO. Thank you David & Team!

Re: [JAWS-Users] regarding the recent drop in list traffic
Obviously I know how to bring people out of the woodwork so to speak. I just wanted to make sure that there was still an interest moving forward. I kind of thought there was but it does not hurt to confirm such things. Folks as much to my team and the fact that things have been so smooth on here for quite some time is why we are cruzing along starting our twelfth year next week. I don't believe it even as I type these words. The vast majority of you actually have no idea how much has gone on in the background with all of us over time. It is just that we work so well together things plow on. All of us have had medical issues and a couple of us have had shoulder surgery, rotator cuff to be exact. Last year my wife had a new heart valve installed and I was off the list for almost 8 weeks taking care of her. The guys did a great job because I would have been no help at all during that time. There were days that the only thing I did with this system was shut it off and nothing else at all. I'm not telling you this to garner sympathy or anything like that, rather to let you folks know that I work with the best couple of guys available. FYI don't tell Bob I said that, his ego is already the size of the grand canyon. Just kidding Bob, he is really a humble guy or so I'm told. So far as being blocked out what is really happening is that some services are blocking messages from this domain from being delivered to their customers and eventually Mailman removes them for bouncing messages. They are able to post messages, it is just they can't receive which is a major annoyance to say the least. I'm convinced that interest still rains supreme, thank you all for confirming that fact.

Hi David, I've found this list to be a very valuable resource for many years. I've learned so much! I'd be very disappointed if it is ended. It's reassuring to know the list is here.

David, I appreciate this list for the fact that it is NOT a high traffic list. I see the traffic on many of the non-high traffic lists rise and fall, depending on the time of year and the current activity around the subject of the list. As another member mentioned, I am sure that traffic will rise quickly as the next version of Jaws is released.

Hello David: I guess spam is such a big problem that delivery of emails is at best iffy anymore from private domains, at least that was my experience, figured I had to move the list to a list provider for better delivery, thus I went to Googlegroups.

[JAWS-Users] JAWS 17 Upload TechAssist
Hello, I just got a new copy of JAWS 17 and got somewhat of a surprise, as the 20 character authorisation code, had No Number signs or spaces for Letters; so, I had to contact the local Veteran Blind Orientation Specialist, who issued that copy, to get that correct Authorisation code. Once the Authorisation code was received; I had to Dymo label that code, on the JAWS 17 CD package, as what I had received from Freedom Scientific, was so poorly Braille labelled. Now, the next predicament that was encountered. I have a Gateway desktop CPU, with Windows7, with JAWS 14; and I inserted the JAWS 17 Program disc, yet I had forgot that a Comcast rep had changed the POP 3 setting to IMAP, without changing the advanced numeric settings; consequently, I can't access the Internet, to get Authorisation for the JAWS 17 program. Question 1; at the start menu; how do I gain access to where the POP 3 / IMAP Email/Internet setting are located on the Gateway CPU; so I can put the POP 3 setting back; so I can upload the new JAWS 17 version. Question 2; Should I consider using the IMAP setting; and if so; what are the correct numeric settings? The reason I had a Comcast rep come out; was that Emails I was receiving from Comcast, concerning their X-infinity new Talking TV Remote; and when I would download emails from them; to a Humanware Apex, I was receiving unreadable/unaudible Emails, as if it was in nothing but, characters and foreign lingo garbage. Topic 2. I am trying to locate a audio text format copy of David Pogue's book, titled; Windows10 The Missing Manual. I got the NLS / Talking Books Library's, audio book; yet I am after a E-text format copy of this book. I won't try listening to the audio book, and transcribing into a Braille format; nor will I get a text copy of the book to scan it, to get the wanted CPU text version, for easy access. Any and All assistance, would be Valuably Appreciated.

Re: [JAWS-Users] regarding the recent drop in list traffic
Well managed mailing lists such as this one can last a very long time. They don't just suddenly die, unless people lose interest in the topic or otherwise move on due to administrative issues with the list. Implementing DMARC and configuring the list not to break DKIM signatures are both a certain amount of work, but large mail operators are starting to insist on these (Yahoo in particular, as I recall), so it might be worth doing at Asome point. I set all of this up on my own mail server last year. Yahoo has a DNS record that instructs other sites which use DMARC to reject all mail from Yahoo addresses that fails DMARC verification. I odn't know whether large operators are placing mail that fails DMARC tests into quarantine, but it wouldn't surprise me to find that they are.

Re: [JAWS-Users] regarding the recent drop in list traffic
hello I to must say how happy I am to get traffic from this list since I to have found it really good when I have questions or am stuck on something having to do with jaws. why just the other day I had a friend call me and tell me that they were getting a tablit and it was a aser and they were asking me how they coud make it accessible. I told them about jaws and where to get a demmo version to try it out and I rememberd the topic coming up hear on the list about how you were able to use jaws on a tablit pc to make it accessible. so I agree this list still has a perpice to serve. so keep up the grait work. from Mich Verrier from New Liskeard Ontario Canada. -Original Message- From: Dialup%56k Sent: Wednesday, October 12, 2016 7:13 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] regarding the recent drop in list traffic Hello David, Interesting topic, as I was only thinking the other day just how peaceful and 'on topic' the list has been this last month or so.
