Re: Transferring a book from Book Share to an SD card.
Carolyn Arnold
The book was a print book from Book Share, or I assume

print. I got two this morning from newest books. They copied to the SD card fast enough, and they will play on my Victor Stream. Then, when I put the card in the Talking Book MP3 Player, and I set it on SD card, when went to Daizy Books, it said I had no books. That was my reason for buying the MP3, and maybe I did not know enough. It could be that retrieving them on my Stream doesn't work. I do not intend to fool with it on the computer, will just sell the MP at a loss, if there isn't a solution here. I'm patient, won't list the thing tomorrow. Thanks for checking. Hope your day is a diamond, Carolyn

I don’t remember where we got it, but there is a magnetic dish you can put
parts in. It has rubber on the bottom so it won’t slide. George got
it from some one of the catalogs that sells stuff for the blind, I think.

All Mail folder on GMail accounts refills in Thunderbird
Steve Matzura
I delete the contents of the "All Mail" folder inside the "GMail" folder for Gmail accounts in Thunderbird, but every time I open that folder, it refills with over twelve hundred recent messages. To quote the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, what's going on, and is there any way of stopping it? One twold think that when one deletes something, it stays deleted. Apparently not so with Gmail and the "All Mail" folder.

Re: automaticaly launching to Amazon website

Changing these settings will likely stop the
behavior. That may be all that is wanted. But why is the browser
doing anything when the computer starts or restarts? Do you want the
browser to open automatically in the first place? Perhaps you or someone
put the browser in the start list, I don't recall just what the proper term is
for it, or perhaps someone put a run on bootup command in the task
scheduler. Was this computer configured by someone for you? Having a
browser run at startup or on restart is not an option people would usually
use. So there are two questions. the first part of the problem was
discussed in the message quoted below. But the second part is whether you
want the browser to run automatically or not.

Well, it's a round little guy and there is a brush
that is underneath the edge and that brush spins around as the little fellow
spins slowly and that does a pretty good job of getting in the corners and

Subject: Re: [TechTalk] Questions re Roomba vacuum
cleaners From what I have read about the Roomba vacs, they are not as effective at
cleaning as a standard, upright vacuum. The Roomba’s cleaning
effectiveness has been compared to that of a lightweight, rechargeable stick
vac. This makes sense because there is no way that the Roomba’s
rechargeable battery would have enough juice to power a heavy duty motor like
the kind found in standard AC-operated upright and cannister vacs. So
while the Roomba may offer the convenience of cleaning each room in your home
automatically, it may still be necessary to re-vacuum them manually with a
standard vac to clean up the dirt the Roomba missed. And keep in mind that
the
Roomba’s rechargeable battery may not last long enough to vacuum your entire home in one pass before it needs to be recharged. Gerald

I know that there are several models of the Roomba vacuums. Does anyone know whether the accessibility level varies significantly from one model to another? If so, which is the most accessible for a totally blind user? QVC had a great deal Saturday night on the so called 800 series which they were selling for $400. . But the price was so much lower than other models that I wondered just what the differences are. Furthermore, if I buy one, I’ll probably get it from Costco because Costco has such a great return policy.
