Yeah, John, I'd second Ray's request. I don't particularly need it
myself as I use Acrobat only occasionally (when I must) but I'd be more
inclined if I felt more comfortable with it.

hello ray,
I'll give it some thought but can't promise anything.

Acrobat Suggestion
Hi John. Good to see you are keeping the tutorials updated.
Given that so many blind people voice their frustration when using Adobe
Acrobat Reader, I wonder if you might consider covering this program
from instalation through to its use. I feel its not nearly so VI
unfriendly these days as many seem to think it is. As I've said on
another list, when you consider Acrobat's purpose is to maintain visual
integrity of files, no matter what their original format, including
pictures and all graphics and font styles, then I think its a wonder
they've done as much as they have in making it accessible to blind
people.
Maybe you could include Acrobat Reader as part of a collection, or a
free info download on your site. Ray

From: "John Wilson" Subject: [access-uk] Announcement: Updated From The
Keyboard Tapes
Dear List Memberr,
Just a few lines to advise people that, following several requests for
this, I have just completed some updating to my "VIPs Introduction to
Computers" basic PC beginners guide and mini-tutorial to include notes
for users of Windows XP. Previously it only addressed Windows up to
Windows ME.
The guide and tutorial (demonstrated by myself using HAL, JAWS and
Window-Eyes) still lasts three hours, covering two two-track C90
cassettes.
I have included instructions on how to set Windows XP up in "Classic"
mode for screenreader users and, at the end of relevant sections where
there are differences from earlier versions of Windows, notes on where
Windows XP differs from earlier versions.
Whilst I would not claim that this is now an out-and-out Windows XP
guide and mini-tutorial, it will now be more useful to Windows XP users
and, in any event, most of the sections and sub-sections covered, work
the same in Windows XP as they did in such as Windows 98.
Whilst I do not think that current holders of an older copy of the "VIPs
Introduction to Computers" tapes would want to purchase a second copy of
these tapes, nor would an already current reasonably experienced user of
XP, the tapes should still be helpful to people considering buying a
computer for advise and guidance before deciding to purchase one and to
those who have recently bought a PC for the first time and want to get
to grips with the basic Operating system and essential utilities on it.
This information may be of interest to any of your relations or friends
who are about to buy a PC with Windows XP on it or who have just bought
one.
For more details and to see the Table of Contents, please visit my
Website at:
http://web.onetel.com/~fromthekeyboard
and go to the VIPs Introduction to Computers link.
Alternatively, please phone or e-mail me for further details. My details
are given below.
Best regards,
John Wilson.
