Hi, Gary,
I use NVDA and really love it. I don't know if it'll work on a Mac though.

NVDA is an alternative to the big screen reader companies. It has gotten
better in the last few years.

Hi Nancy, snow leopard is an operating system on the mac, and I have written
about this in the past week, and people on the list, not many of them, have
said that it's a shame that we, on the snow leopard operating system can't
take advantage of open drive, so maybe you missed those messages, but I did
write about this. The big screen reader companies, in my opinion, are
committed in to forcing us blind people to stay with windows, as my friend,
the late Dennis Bartlett has said, and if sighted people aren't forced in to
a particular operating system, why should we be. Neither operating system,
either the mac, or windows, is the end all be all of all operating systems,
just inserting my opinion here.

What the heck is Snow Leopard?? Is this an IP provider? Very, Very
strange!! This should not be.
The link to get on the Open Drive page where this album is, is:
http://od.lk/fl/OV8xNjMwMjc3OF8
Problem: You have to download each song individually this way,
since the file is an unzipped folder with 12 files/songs in it. If I put
something on the public folder and post the link, that zip can immediately
be downloaded with the download link. One could post links for each song in
this album if one wanted. I think this is the problem you are facing with
this. If you would like this album to be downloadable all at once, I'll
create a zipped file of the album.

Hi Nancy, I can't install the open drive application, as I
am on snow leopard, so that's why I had rosie put that album in the public
folder, but I see even the public folder won't work for me.

There shouldn't even be an html file! If you have
the Open Drive app on your computer and you are logged in, there are folders
just like the ones on your computer, and the unzipped Stones album is in the
Rolling Stones folder. Hope I can help further.

Hi Nancy, I can only download the .html file
of the rolling stones now album, and so I opened up the .html file, and it
said that the file cannot be shared, because it violates our terms of
service, so what went wrong? I tried getting the file several times, and it
wanted me to log in, but when I did, when I logged in, it took me to my
account, and my folders which have nothing in them, and I wanted this album,
because a person at the school for the blind had it, and I remember songs
like off the hook, pain in my heart, surprise surprise, and we got a good
thing going, to name a few songs. If open drive won't work for me, could
somebody put it up on dropbox or some means where I can get it? Thanks in
advance.
