I don't use android devices, but my understanding is that when you plug them
into a USB port, they look like hard drives. If that's the case, your Mac will
see it like a drive, and it will be very easy for you to copy data to and from
the unit.
Also, don't forget that underneath it's glittery

Hello Deedra,
Well, there’s a name from the past. Welcome to the world of the Mac.
You should feel quite at home with a Mac. Devices will mounted as on a Linux

Hi,
I just squired a usb fingerprint reader for my windows machine.
Has anyone used a fingerprint reader on the mac? If so how well do they
work? Can one register fingerprints without sighted assistance?
Again this is for mac not ios.

As far as getting acquainted with the workings of VoiceOver on the Mac, three

First, a quick correction to Phil's message: the keys to press are control and

reviewing by word or character can cause focus to wander off, and I find things

I'm not so sure it's an actual plus, just a reasonable work around when
you need one. But, I've not tried actually working with irssi in the

The trick is to search for the term mini TosLink. I guess TosLink is the

I think you would need some drivers and such to make that work. My
understanding is that there is some big key stored in the fingerprint
scanner itself and that key is only output when the associated
fingerprint matches close enough. It's not like a fingerprint creates
the key. So you would

Deedra,
My opinion is that VO access to the terminal is quite good. The terminal
session is contained in a buffer. You can scroll line by line using VO +
up/down.
The other thing I wanted to mention is that there is a dropbox client for the
mac. So if you can access dropbox from your

Hi,
If you only use that drive for Time Machine backups, the Time Machine process
will remove old backups on its own, ensuring you have enough room. If you do a

Ahh, that makes sense. I opened up the drive and just saw the previous back ups
