Ok, we're on a different issue, direct typing and the braille are different things, all be they both set on the rotor. I also understand that you can't change the dots1-3 and 4-6 around, so many are trying to braille upside down. Rh. - Original Message - From: Eugenia Firth

I didn't think of it at the time, and blessedly, it was only once; but the phone shut up and didn't do anything helpful with the triple click home, so just took a chance and kept dragging my finger about to force it to talk, and cranked up the volume buttons with the other hand. Got it back

The software development market is a very wide and varied one, but it is a very tight entrance criterior to get that close to the heart of a corporation. Developing saleable iOs Apps is something you could do and do it privately on your own resources. I did a bit of that, all be it

A double-tap is to use A single finger to tap twice, a 2finger double tap is to use 2 fingers, spaced apart ideally so iOs knows there's two, and tap twice. Double-tap-and-hold means you use 1 finger to tap twice, and keep your finger down on the second tap; it makes a difference. Rh. -

The one thing I'd suggest, and would do if using a laptop/netbook; find out if we can get a real full size keyboard to use it with, even a bluetooth one if necessary. Don't know if those MBA's will accept a usb keyboard or not. But a full size keyboard helps no end, too. JMO, RobH. -
