All I can say to this is whoops. How's that for accidental self-disclosure?
I'm a little confused today,and I obviously sent this reply to the wrong
email. The one just below the one I meant to reply to. ye gads. Oh, well.
In this state of mind, I don't think I can follow those AdAware directions.
Generous as they were for the man to offer, just trying to memorize them
makes my head spin. I think I'll wait until Dean fixes the scripts so I can
just zap zap zap those spyware guys. I don't care about the details.
That's just personal, I ought to say (okay, Bruce?). I mean there are a few
things where I'm willing to just do the most automatic thing. I mean, up
until now, I have just marked all the critical objects, without exploring
them individually, and nothing has been disturbed about my computer use or
web browsing.
So I guess I'll be collecting Spyware for a couple of weeks, unless my
Spyware Blaster shoots 'em down. Which it seems pretty good at.
Sorry for the mistake. hope it was entertaining enough to make up for my
embarrassment.

P.S.
If hardly anyone wears pleated walking shorts anymore, I would've been
satisfied to buy one of the plain front type. Though there seemed to be two
or three different displays of them! I had no idea what the differences
between all those might've been. Nobody said nothin'. but anyway, I would
have gone with the flow, as the saying went, just to avoid having to try
*again* to find them. That isn't much fun for me, having to arrange with a
friend to go through all that every time I just want to go to the store and
pick up some ordinary thing, but don't want to spend half the day on the bus
and then be dependent on young clerks who either don't know their stock or
can't communicate clearly, or both. So what I mean is I would have bought
what was there just to have enough shorts for the summer, if I'd known it
would be hard to find the other style. No big deal, more or less. it's the
shopping that's the hassle, and you're the easiest of all my friends to go
shopping for many things with because we communicate so easily and, well,
the whole thing. your mom isn't really available to be one of those
shopping friends anymore since Igor (you know how it goes with him, I guess)
plus all those grueling hours at the externship at that hospital. And Tanya
(of Arik and T.) has the kid, the job, the husband, the in-laws, and so
forth. And my guy friends, Russian or American, simply aren't much help
shopping for clothes, Like no help. Actually, Jim doesn't even live here,
so that's out, and Paul, well, when he's here, he helps me with other
stuff.Same way young Ilya from Samara helps me and spends a good bit of time
and energy with my computer problems, and going through the mail as we used
to do. So I don't try to drag him shopping, either, but again, it's more
effort with him if I do. than it is with you, I mean.
it's all so complicated, just planning how to get a couple of pairs of
shorts, or so many perfectly ordinary things. So that's where I was coming
from. If only the clerk had been more expressive, like an older, better
educated employee or manager often is, and just say "You know, hardly anyone
wears pleated shorts say no more, although they still make long pants with
pleats. That's why we don't have any pleated shorts. You'll probably have
a hard time finding them anywhere these days. Are you sure you have to have
pleats?"
And I would have said, "Oh, shit. Too bad. No, okay, I'll try on a couple
of these and if they fit, that'll be fine."
See? That happens when you go to some stores, but not ones with really
young clerks and you're older so they won't even say anything to you because
you're older, and all that.
anyway, that's what happened. Just bitching (sorry if that's not P.C.; how
about "kvetching," in Yiddish,maybe?). Venting.
Just spent half the day with Ilya Roytburd getting office supplies, a new
mop and bucket, and a new nylon duffel bag for my laundry,the old one having
a huge rip in it through which clothes start falling out. But it's so much
time and effort, plus you have to recruit a willing friend... ack. It's
hard not to wish I could still just jump into my Tercel (or something newer,
of course), go run these errands, choose things for myself, and come back
home just like that (snaps fingers).
Anyway, I understand about you working and everything, and I sympathize.So
whenever you have time to write or, by this time for sure, call and talk,
do. Whenever that may be, I'll be really happy to hear from you.
Still want to know what "goty" dykes would be, for God's sake. What the
hell does that mean? And how do you say it? Hey, don't get pissed off. At
least I'm giving you a hard time about the "goty" part, not the "dyke" part,
ponyatno? <laughing>
Love,
Joel

I personalize web pages as I get to them based on the content I need to
hear. I only make a couple of changes in the configuration manager,
usually related to graphics, I think I generally set it to read labeled
graphics and I change my voice scheme to rent-a-crowd. All the rest of
the stuff I do through the verbosity insert V menu if I don't plan to
revisit the page often, or through the personalize shift-insert-V menu.

Rose,
So you ou do this rather than going into one of the Configuration
Manager
menus and making a global adjustment? Or is it an alternative to
globally
turning off that type of link?
Also, I'm assuming that this doesn't disable or delete those links, but
rather just makes them announce themselves more plainly. Am I correct?
I
certainly don't wish to make all the links on the Audible site
disappear! I
just want them to shut up.
Thanks.

Press insert-shift V and you will hear personalize web page or something
similar, then three is the usual list where in you press the space bar
on any item to change its status.

this sounds like a very appealing option. I'm not familiar with where
it is
you make these settings, Rose, either as defaults or specific to a
particular URL. I certainly don't mind reading the instructions, but
could
you tell me which topic to look for in Jaws help in order to learn about
this feature?
Thanks very much,
Daniel

This is where the personalize web page feature is great, you can turn
off the mouse-over links for pages where you don't need them by going to
read elements and turning it off or on, on pages where they are helpful
you can leave the feature running. I leave my configuration set to show
the defaults and do personalize web pages for pages where either the
mouse-over does not do anything or where I don't need to hear them.

Wow, I'm really glad you mentioned your solution, because I had no idea
1.
that youcould turn off the mouse-over links that now announce themselves
all
over the Web, and 2. that if you did, you'd wipe out Jaws's ability to
see
most links on some pages. I am an Audible customer, and on the audible
site, as on some others with links of this type, I've nearly blocked out
the
distracting announcement while waiting to hear the actual name of the
link.
Hard to explain. In any case, thanks for reporting this experience.

Well I figured it out. I needed to adjust the config manager to
accommodate
those pesky mouse over links on Odible. I turned off graphical links in
order to browse EBay faster which hid the important links on the Audible
sight..
erk! !

Hi,
I am still using Jaws 6.0, and haven't yet installed jaws 6.20. At
this
point, everything on the Audible site is as accessible as it was for
me
with earlier versions. Your inquiry is the first time I've heard
anyone
say
that the update may have ruined their Audible access. Any other
Audible
users here who've also downloaded and installed version 6.20? It's
hard
to
believe that it could mess up the accessibility of that site so much.
But
if it does, that's a serious problem for a lot of Jaws users, I'd say.

hello,
Since I have installed jfw 6.02 I have not been able to find links
like My
account, Herd programs, add to shopping cart etc on Audible's web
site.
Has
anyone else experienced this phenomena? Is Audible down for the
count?
Thanks...Keith
