Re: New developments on Blindtech

You may think such things are amusing but they can damage a list and can significantly harm a list if it looses valuable contributors as well as general members who might ask good questions and learn

Re: where can you get windows7pro

I wonder which solution would work best with boot camping a Mac Book. I thought of buying one of the used ones going around the lists that very well could've sold, as it is a good price. I don't know

Re: New developments on Blindtech

Hi Group, With all due respect, I must agree with Carlos. Without beating up on Michael Capell too harshly, I have been a member of Blind Tech for over a decade and when he took over several years

I guess it shows my age, but when I read Dennis' joke, the song by Little Peggy Marsh from 1963, I will follow him started running through my head <laugh>!

Re: New developments on Blindtech

The bottom line is that when he was owner of the Blind Tech list, it lost almost half of its members because of his intolerant attitude and his penchant for constantly changing listservs. Gerald

Re: New developments on Blindtech

I haven't seen much of him lately--even on Blind Tech.

Re: New developments on Blindtech

Hi, Thanks!!! One of the things I strongly recommend is equal treatment! Meaning, whatever applies to me, applies to the owner!

Re: New developments on Blindtech

On the contrary. I think he would rush to join this list if he knew that Carlos was the owner just to stir up the pot a little. Gerald

Re: New developments on Blindtech

I agree with Gene and while I might personally find such things occasionally amusing, allowing that kind of behavior is really not a productive way to run a list.

Re: New developments on Blindtech

Hi Gene, Most of it really depends on the admins, though. If the admins would have dealt with it properly, while we wouldn't have had the amusement, the list wouldn't have lost anyone.

Re: New developments on Blindtech

I landed on freelists. 2 months later, emissives. There, people had troubles replying, even though I did address to just use reply all, didn't help. BTW, that bug is fixed. Anyway, after that, we came

Re: New developments on Blindtech

LOL, you're probably right. Let's hope he will not find it.

Re: New developments on Blindtech

Back then, they should have got a third admin. The only reason, as I said, why we got what we got, is the lack of moderation.

Updating CCleaner Without Also Installing Google Chrome.

Getting back to a more pertinent topic. This morning, I updated to the latest version of CCleaner, version 5.9, on my Windows 7 PC. Using the JAWS cursor, I carefully inspected each page of the

Re: New developments on Blindtech

Well I'm not inclined to move and I'm going to try for consistency.

Re: Updating CCleaner Without Also Installing Google Chrome.

The only way to really be sure is by using the slim installer which is usually one or two versions behind the standard installer.

Re: Updating CCleaner Without Also Installing Google Chrome.

I really doubt that Chrome is inaccessible with JAWS 15. Chrome uses an interface that is somewhat different than Internet Explorer or Firefox. For example, there is only one menu. But as I recall,

Brief intro, and an encouragement message for the owner of this list

Hi all, I’m Joseph Lee (not Joseph the Free Tech), a student and a regular contributor to NonVisual Desktop Access screen reader project. First, thanks for creating another resource for talking

Re: Updating CCleaner Without Also Installing Google Chrome.

I just checked and Chrome is reasonably accessible using JAWS 14 so it will either be equally accessible or more so with JAWS 15. Gene ----- Original Message -----
