Thanks Ken and Tyler. Your comments about VoiceOver has made me very skeptical. Ken: How does VoiceOver work on the iPhone then? I really want to buy an iPhone.I've heard so much positive comments of VoiceOver and the accessibility on the iPhone. Tyler mentioned that VO also crashes and restarts a lot on the Mac. Does this happen on the iPhone as well?

I was coding in Python the other day and if you right click on the environment the dialog comes up but voice over doesn't see it. Or just today I was updating my IPhone to beta 3 using my Mac book Pro and at one point it says to press the restore button while holding down the option key. Now if you don't know the option key is what you use for speech so you have to do control-option space to click on the restore button. Well it don't work. I had to get a sited person to help. Now I could have went in and changed all my settings so that control was option but hey I still would have had to press control-option space to click on restore so that would not have helped. This is not the only thing I have found wrong with Mac either it's just the most recent pain in my back side. If you find coding in Windows a pain in the butt you will find coding on a Mac a p

I guess your problem is hardware related. I only have one problem on Windows 7 and that's the annoying console issues. JAWS + Console on Windows 7 is a mess! JAWS 11 + Console on XP is also a mess. But using JAWS 10 on XP gets rid of the annoyances. I am now seriously considering Mac and OS X with VoiceOver. I love the Linux command line with Speakup and brltty but I don't like Orca when using the GUI. Ok, I have not tried Orca and GNOME for some time now... If someone on the list is using Linux and GNOME as their primary OS please let me know how you're doing<smile> On 13.10.2010 16:54, Sina Bahram wrote:Ty, Question for you. If you stick an SD card or very fast usb thumbdrive into your computer and tell windows to dedicate the device to readyboost, does that improve things at all?

I'm not sure if it is jaws 11, or windows seven, or even hardware that is doing this, but when I do anything (like open a program, reboot, etc) it takes an amazing amount of time to actually open the program or do whatever needs to be done. Now, I thought this was a harddrive issue, because when I seek in winamp, I will get some lag when it should be buffering more of the file. Jaws also tends to studder when I'm running large installations. Because of this, I went and grabbed Speccsy, and after checking my harddrive's smart status, it returned that the harddrive was good. So, it looks like I am back at square 1 again. I really do think it is the harddrive, or something blocking the harddrive from actually working right, but I'm not sure how to tell what that is. Any ideas? Maybe the harddrive -is- fine, and there is something else causing the problem?__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind__________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind- -- Thanks, Tyler Littlefield -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMtfhhAAoJELDPyrppriJPIssH/iaT011Td5LqSKmOLCGcCjm0 HCYMhhFOANoCQjU47r1oZDkAmpVbv0qAwFQGRKHIhQRnACOl+jv/NFX1cPL+a4t4 ywaXYuf38GEIEbvzHxPPr8Vp461tj7A4oVD8E7gLWt4TXCZ+L69uVZypj3dWUO62 nJ7vkqvj81LZppLX0odwZhYVqd2nNzhpUQBl314oNhLGvBshBNiKReZLQJOyqps1 WbfnYeprECtsaYEKBKObvfif3yIzt4yGr3KtS44eCESh/YebJ0d2W6ve7B9DMz1d hbPgvPTU1RIS8TfJ41Q5gs4b0oznrG76qzevevZcl566WmdjYcjEQxZdDPg5TZw= =dNqY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
