Rod, Could you explain more what you think happened? I thought he might be disconnected because I have never had to click on Home Group to get to it from Windows Explorer, I have always been able to arrow to it just over "My Computer," and understanding this better may save me time later. Best

Peter and all, While I mostly agree with you, especially given that we have fairly good accessibility built into products that are much more complicated than those of fifteen or twenty years ago, I think we are often affected more by change than are sighted people. There needs to be some thought

Dave, Often VFO runs extreme discounts around the consumer conventions in July. I received my home edition of JAWS 16 for $75 in 2015, and the same thing was offered last summer. I was able to upgrade it for $250 to the professional version that could run on a corporate computer. If you are int

RE: interesting problem with Notepad

2017-03-09 Thread Steve Jacobson via Talk
My observations are subjective at best, but I think that Microsoft Office products somehow affect focusing and sometimes even how the cursor works in other applications. If you have the problem in NotePad again, it would be interesting to know if it clears up without closing and opening the file i

Darrell, I've tended to have an unpopular position on some of this but I continue to feel that the position was a correct one. I have little confidence that if Microsoft had included a full screen reader with Windows that we would have gotten the support that we have received over the past twenty

Martin, Strangely, I have begun having a problem with keyboard response when composing a message in Becky email. When I have that problem, the ARROW keys are also slow to respond. Restarting Window-Eyes sometimes fixes the problem and sometimes it doesn't. However, I have not noticed a problem

RE: Accessibility: A Reality Check

2015-08-13 Thread Steve Jacobson via Talk
Tom and others, I think you raised a very important point here. Many do not understand how very different the evolution of screen readers is between the Microsoft and the Apple platforms. In addition, many do not understand the much greater control Apple exercises over development within its pla

Well, it is only sort of the provider since this doesn't happen to everyone. It is also the email server that receives email that is taking a broader approach to limiting spam. If that were not the case, this would be happening to more of us. Best regards, Steve Jacobson -Original Mes

Rick, Since this topic is not all that relevant since it is being worked on, I just want to say that I would never advocate someone click on a link within an email. A link can say one thing and do something completely different. This is less true, though, when you reply to an email. It is good t
