Actually, Gordon, I like the idea of having techno chat as is, where Windows
is welcomed along with other tech related things.
BTW, just wonderring. Would Android discussion be ok on the techno chat
list, as long as it's kept within a minimal reason?
Chris.

Hello Chris
Yes, it can. But we do try to have people join the specialist groups if
possible. I know this is a little bit of a grey area because there’s an
inconsistency here. We do definitely say “No Apple Chat Please!”. Maybe we
should do that with Windows as well. Actually we did intend to do that, it
just kind of never happened.
So Im not currently saying “No Windows”, just gently reminding people that
the group exists specifically for that purpose.
I’m sorry this is less than clear at the moment.
Kindest regards

I'm confused. I thought that this list could! discuss Windows matters along
with other tech matters. Just not mac related things. Did I miss
something? I don't see this as a cross-post.

Subject: Windows Inside Of A VM
Hi all
I really don’t like the concept of cross-posting. But I’m aware that there
are some members of this group who are not subscribed to Windows-Access, the
sister group to Mac-Access. So before I completely go against my own
preferences, let me briefly give the group details as to how to join our
sister group.
Send a message to:
[email protected]
with the word “Subscribe”, without the quotes, in the subject line. Then,
just respond to the authentication post which you’ll be sent immediately by
our server, and let rip!
Speaking of let rip, I shall now proceed to doing so. I beg the forgiveness
of those who are already members of our sister group. I promise I’ll never
ever ever ever ever do this again, LOL!
It’s been so long since I played around with this, that I cannot remember if
or whether this issue was resolved. Inside of a VM under VMWAre’s Fusion
for Mac, how does one get around the thorny issue of the caps lock being
used as an NBVDA, Jaws or other screen-reader key? Clearly, I’m going to
have to find a way of re-mapping the caps lock key to something else so that
there’s an option to use this inside of the VM. What I mean is I’m going to
have to find a way to simulate the caps lock key. Did anybody else manage
this?
I am aware of Sharp Keys, but I don’t want to go down that road if I can
avoid it. Hopefully there’s a way around this issue. I would have no
problem with using the option key as a caps lock, or something of that ilk.
Kindest regards
Gordon
