[nvda] Re: Idea for next release of nvda

Hi.
this isn't exactly NVDA promotional, but I've used this before myself and I know that it's very important to be able to do windows update especially on newly formatted computers with fresh coppies of the windows opperating system installed. If you need to do windows update through internet explorer in the future and all you have is NVDA, just open the run dialogue and type http://satogo.com. That will allow you to do updates and things like that until NVDA can handle it itself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Gaff" <bglists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Yes, as I found out while trying to get a laptop to work correctly with a messy update record, Good access to windows update is a really important one I think. I do not care how its done, but its a real pain at the moment. I had to get a list of missing updates from a third party prog, send it to another machine over the net, then find the files, download them and squirt them all back the other way, all with a flaky computer. It worked OK, no more exception errors and a faster system, and I guess ultimately faster than reformat and re install everything, but it was still a pain compared to having windows update working.
I could have chanced installing a copy of hal, but from experience on dodgy machines, I could have ended up with a brick not a computer.

There are so many other much more important things than ITunes that the team should be working on. 

ITunes just isn't that big a deal to the majority of us.

Actually I have an iPOD Shuffle not a nano or a video. So I can't put rockbox on it.

   Hi,
Not sure how NVDA would handle this, but ITunes uses custome Apple controls i believe. Maybe the IAccessible libraries have a fix for this? Also have you tried rockbox? I'd put a direct link to the site here but my links never become links on the other end, at least not how i want them to. The site is rockbox.org. 
   I am also on there forums as big d.
   HTH.

Hello; Listers, I don't post much. But I got an idea for the next release of nvda. How about support for iTUNES and iPOD? Let me know about this idea because some of us have iPODs and we would like to put music on the iPOD. If this happends I'll give up JAWS anytime!
