Hi Colin, Dorothy and all,
Well, let me tell you this. One of the biggest, and probably the most
unfortunate, problems I have experienced is, my teacher having been paid
for
two and a half days worth of one-to-one training at the start of this
year,
and only being bothered to give me just half a day!
I have tried, however, to contact him several times, but, he seemed to
have disappeared off the face of God's earth!
Hence, my joining this list, and seeming a little, if not a lot,
unknowing
regarding many things. I am finding it so refreshing, hearing of so many
people willing to help each other. Keep it up!
Regards,
Angela.

Hi Dorothy and all,
One of the major errors which my computer teachers made was failing to
explain which issues/commands belonged to Jaws, which belonged to Windows
and which belonged to the application programs. It took me years to
unscramble all the task-based muddle.
Cheers
Colin

Dorothy,
I am very sorry you are having so much difficulty. I have often wondered
how some one with no or little computer experience with a visual
impairment
could get into using a computer considering all the pit falls, some of
which
you mentioned in your email. Before I started having trouble with my
hearing I did a little bit of training of Jaws and I did this for free. I
don't think many people do this unfortunately. I myself was lucky in that
respect.
I know you are very frustrated and I really don't know how to console you.
I should probably start by apologising for asking if English was your
first
language. As I read down your emails and the replies it became clear that
your problem was with Jaws in outlook. I have another idea which I will
mention shortly in a following email.
Nigel
It's not what Operating system you use, it's how productive you are with
it.

Subject: [jaws-uk] Quick answer for Nigel
Yes it is . It was also the first language of the many tutors I paid very
handsomely to tutor me in a home situation as I have other disabilities
as well as Sight and if I ever want to have a laugh I listen on tape
to
their recorded sessions. One lady a Jaws buff who is the tutor for her
whole Charity can be hear saying to Jaws the following Shirrup
shirrup and he is blathering. nice Olde English word that?? The she
runs a repaired Wizard and get a patch and them
pocketing a hundred pounds fee from me says " seeing Jaws
do that has taken away her wish to live" then she shoot so of to sunny
Spain leaving Jaws reading thentimesmore than when she came? I kid you
this is repeated 2 times by said
lady who shall be nameless. I have the same things from the so called
master himself who sleft say that someone who shallbe nameless
must
" write a script" does he like hell. English was their first and my
first language in each and every case the only difference is that they
were highly paid and qualified and I not and I the observer of this
farce
do by you want more.Dorothy Ok not a quick answer but is is what you get
buddy. and is true. I have skipped the spell check for obvious reasons
as
you donot know them then cut the criticism and find out the answers.
Oneman I knw who is very clever thinks it is a problemnot with Jaws but
with Oe and Windows and the internet and said go to Microsoft. They
tellme to go to some one else and I do and have given you the benefit of
my experince that is of course if you want it. if not Ok but it is out
there now in your court as they say If I were to add up all the many
many sums I have paid to learned tutors I could travel around the
Globe.
Not 1 of them agreed with another I culd take all their opinions and
type
them out and put on a wall and get a take Chim to throw darts at it.
and make a choice Well it wokred with the STockpicking team I am told of
the FT. Dorothy
