Morning all,
I was just going through my junk folder and I keep seeing these offers for asynchronous motors. Now, I know this is a totally weird, off the wall question, but what the heck is an asynchronous motor? Of course I'm deleting the spam, but since I'm getting more and more like my cat everyday, curious, what on earth is it? Is it a figment of the imagination, or are their really asynchronous motors? If the parts of the motor aren't syncked, wouldn't that prevent the motor from operating correctly? Just something innocuous to think about when the rest of the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Ann P. -- Ann K.

Hi Kerryann,

I found a similar issue on a Linovo laptop running Windows 10, and I finally had to reload the laptop. Of course this was after exhausting all other options, including going into accessibility settings and making sure all of the features pertaining to the keyboard were correct or disabled. A system restore did not make any difference. Good luck, Rick

Sonos problem
Fanus
Hello list
I loaded lots of music on my new iPhone 11. Now I installed the Sonos app and it piciked up my sonos system but it just shows radio stations but no music on my phone. In system settings there is an option to add folders but one has to type a name, so I assume that is for folders on a pc which runs sonos. How do I get sonos to see the music on my iPhone?

Re: A couple of GoldWave questions
Samuel Wilkins
Hello Steven, the auto trim has now been changed to Trim
Silence. To get to it, go to edit, the trim sub menu, and choose
silence. Alternatively, you can press control backspace to access
the trim silence dialogue. To change the rewind and fast forward
speed, press F11 and you will find yourself on the play tab.
Shift tab to the rewind and fast forward edit boxes, and you can
then change the settings to the speed you want. Hope this helps.

Re: is victor stream second generation the same as victor stream new generation

I got mine when they had some kind of a sale where all you have to do is pay for the shipping. There appears to have been a victor vibe, and a victor wave. I don't know anything about whether that was really true, or whether it was a rumor, because I just know about the vibe. Pam.

Learning Ally, formerly Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic, was selling them at a discounted price of $64.00. I had been an RFB member during my high school days but this player was available much later and I didn't think I'd want one, despite the price, as I didn't see myself reading books from RFB at that time. My wife convinced me to get the player as she said that there could come a time when I'd want to return to school. I decided she was right and I also realized that RFB had plenty of books that interested me beyond what I'd need for classes I might decide to take. It was a nice player, which could play DAISY CDs, regular music CDs and MP3-formatted files. It had no ability to connect to and download books from the Internet but, as a CD player, I liked it but I admit I haven't used it in years.

Facebook Question
Shelly Kane
Hi Group:
I'm not sure if this can be done or if any of you know how to do this but was wondering how to copy and paste something on my time-line? What I mean by that is when you see your friend's post and it says to copy and paste on yours and not share. I guess my question is can this be done with voice over or on the computer using Jaws? If so, which would be easiest and I need simple directions because I'm not tech savvy. I wasn't sure if I should put this in another email but have another question about an app. Have any of you heard of house party before? I have been using it to connect with family that I haven't seen since this crisis began. I'm having trouble with it because I don't know how to invite my friends to the party. They always invite me and then I can join the conversation. If any of you know how to use this app, could someone please tell me more about it and what else I can do with it? I even got to play a game with them which was fun. Voice over worked pretty well. The game was called good taste. If you don't know, that's OK. Just thought I would ask. I sent this to Blind Apples and didn't have much luck there. Thanks in advance and stay healthy. Shelly

Try the following:
1. Open your folder and make sure that
there no files or sub-folders selected.
2. Open the context menu with the applications key
or Shift + F10.
3. Down arrow to, Sort by, press enter, now down

Re: Old Tech question
Olusegun -- Victory Associates LTD, Inc.
Sis Norma, yep, I know the "pause button" you referenced. However, dear
sis, I use the PC Keyboard layout as opposed to the QWERTYZ keyboard layout. So, the only time I switch to the symbol keyboard is when I need to type HARD-TO-FIND symbols using PC keyboard layout. BTW, do you know if we qualify for the PPP loan? My operations are smaller than the smallest, currently under quarantine, and I'm too dumb to figure out the rest of the story. Anyway, private response ok! Back to my lockdown desk, God bless!! Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado
