Yes. As long as it's 'clean', and unlikely to cause offence. (And I don't mean like cutting fine lines as to what is and is not allowed, as in the hearing aid thread, LOL.

Hi Carlos.. I've always have great results on what advice you give. I don't
get involved in he said, she said things. I'm looking for knowledge about things I don't know. I also like bouncing ideas off of other people. I look forward to lots of great tech discussions here. Carlos... You da man. Andrew

Thanks for This List, Carlos.

Thanks for the invite to the list. Michael
Capelle also gave me information on how to join. Right now, I'm with both
lists and we'll see what happens. I am so far behind on technology and
can't afford to do anything about it that I'm not sure how much longer I'll be
able to benefit from discussions here. I've always appreciated your
instructions, however, so wanted to try this list out.
Thanks for all you are trying to do.

These computers are not new, they are machines that businesses have replaced with more up to date units and have donated them to this effort. They will work alright for now but may not have a long useful life.

Hi, To whoever was trying to set up Cortana: Make sure you are: · Using Windows 10. · Logged in via Microsoft Account. The steps are: 1. Select “Try Cortana”. 2. When asked to sign into your Microsoft Account, log int using your ID and password. 3. You’ll be greeted with a few settings, including enabling Cortana, letting Cortana use your location, letting Cortana respond when you say “Hey Cortana” and so on. 4. Once set up, with a microphone connected, press Windows+C to bring up Cortana. Cheers, Joseph

To remove a virtual machine: 1. Focus on the VM you wish to remove and press Control+F4. 2. Go to the folder where your WinTen VM is stored and delete the VM folder (the WinTen folder, that is). Cheers, Joseph

You have been a moderator of a list that I was on before, at the time, we didn't agree, but I can tell you, you did do a good moderation job. Anyway, the BlindTech list went through a lot of things. Mainly, constant moving, constant people like free tech guy, co-owner difficulties, and now, moderator difficulties. So far, it was strong enough to hold on. Sorry for those who know the song, where I got the reference from. If not, I can send the lyrics off list. Should be interesting what happens now, especially that they threw Carlos out for no apparent reason. LOL, I'm still laughing on the reference above, Mike always seems to just send admin notes. He never actually gave us the possibility to speak about something off list. In fact, he's more like a judge at this point. Although, a question. What's the plan by staying subscribed to both lists?

A few things come to my mind as I'm reading the list archives for both lists: For the past few years, I was a moderator of a number of lists and have seen ups and downs of this position. As a moderator of a number of lists now (including two NVDA lists), I always remind myself to be kind and listen to members, as I felt a list admin sets precedence for others to follow. In terms of moderation philosophy, I believe in gentle, offlist diplomacy and how offlist mannerisms matter more for the reputation of a list administrator. I also believe that an admin should invoke his or her privilege sparingly (I think it is better for a moderator to listen to conversations than run the entire show), and to serve not as a judge in disputes but a counsellor (trying to understand disagreements and let members resolve disputes themselves offlist). Lastly, I also believe a moderator should be willing to step down and keep his or her promise to stay as a member, especially if the reputation of the list is in jeopardy (as it is, we can agree that Blind Tech will face criticism because of what happened this weekend, and this latest incident may put that list and its reputation (and Michael's) in jeopardy). As of now, I'm subscribed to both lists to monitor what's going on (I'm still reading Blind Tech archives to fully understand the backstory behind the birth of this list).

I certainly wish the best for this list, the bt list, and any others that offer help towards others who need it, but, seeing the back and forth bs that seemed to be common for BlindTech was beginning to get a little silly. Certainly my thanks for this new one, and here's to it being able to give the same amount, if not more, help to those of us who like these sorts of things. hehe Take it easy. Blessings.

Firefox, Crashing Flash And Inquiry About Alternatives
Ron Canazzi
Hi Group,
Ever since Flash began updating with version 15, I have been having a lot of issues with the Flash plug-in on Firefox. It seems to crash about 30 or 40% of the time. I know some people are using the HTML 5 player or a plug in that can play some flash sites. How do I get this player/plug-in and will it play all flash content on the web? -- Signature: They ask me if I'm Happy, I say "yes." They ask me "How happy are you?" I say: "I'm as happy as a stowaway chimpanzee on a banana boat!"
