Based on the message that you are quoting I don't agree with your response. The book being discussed covers Windows and iOS but doesn't cover Android devices. If a user only uses Android devices then it is reasonable that he or she wouldn't have a need for this book as it doesn't address the user's operating system of choice. Zoom may be available for most of today's operating systems but if the book in question doesn't address the one you're using then it's not for everyone.

Actually, Olusegun, your assertion below is spurious. Zoom is a cross platform application that works in Linux, Windows, Mac,, IOS, Android and from a simple landline phone. The whole idea behind Zoom is to make it as accessible to as many people as possible. If by Android, you mean a Chrome Book, I think it works there too. With schools, businesses, universities, nonprofits, churches and plain old individuals using it these days, you have no business not knowing about Zoom! You might make a couple of Zoom presentations and put them on your web site to showcase your business. This statement of yours is short sighted and wrong! Wake up and smell the coffee good sir.

I should clarify that it may be that a separate five or ten minute tutorial and a separate text file of about the length I am estimating might be necessary for different ways of using the system, such as on a Windows computer, on a mobile phone, and perhaps there are other ways. I haven't looked at the books being offered but if they are long or of moderate length and if they don't have a section in the beginning for the casual user, they may discourage people from using Zoom because they may get the impression that for the casual user, much more needs to be known than actually does.

I don't know if it is reliable if you use the same program but there are programs in which this proprietary JAWS command is designed to work and those for which such provision hasn't been made. this is not difficult to do using the program itself. Different programs may have different ways of doing it. Since this is a never-ending and perennial problem among a lot of blind e-mail program users, it might be a good idea if specific instructions for specific programs are given by those who use the programs and know they are reliable.

No you can not set up different ring tone just for google voice. You can
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
assign ring tones to contacts. The calls are unlimited. Your number will not expire unless you do not use it for more than 6 months or even longer I believe. It will email you ahead of time and tell you to use your google number or it will expire. So no need to worry about loosing the number. I have 2 google voice numbers and I can receive phone calls from both of them at the same time on the same phone. You can also make calls using your computer. I have been doing that lately for work. It will receive calls as well. Just go to http://www.google.com/voice Its easy to run.

Re: Looking for a Good USB External Sound Card
Dave
Hi guys,
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll pass them on. Gene, my friend is not the best when it comes to Computers, or Electronic in General. However, he does have a set of Good Ears and he is worried about the Sound Quality of the Recording of his Vinyl and CD's. He thinks if he gets a Cheap Card, it won't sound very good etc. On the other hand, the up Scale Cards have too many features, Buttons, Sliders and all kinds of Jack Inputs etc. Plus for most Cards they come with Drivers, and some times a Software based Interface where various adjustments can be made to the Sound. Unfortunately, my friend is 3000 miles away, and he lives alone, and has very few friends that are able to come to his apartment to help him. And they probably would know little about these Cards or how to install the software. He asked me to look for a Card, and so am doing that. He has a nice, old time Stereo that comes from an era when they made great sounding Stereo Systems, and the Turn Tables were of very High Quality. All of his Vinyl, and he has 2 or 3 thousand Vinyl Albums he wants to convert to MP3. But, Thanks again for the Suggestions. I'll pass them on and he will decide what he wants to do. Grumpy Dave

Re: Looking for a Good USB External Sound Card

It sounds as though you are discussing an audiohile
or professional soundcard. I don't know what the least expensive sound
cards are that have line-in inputs. When I was looking for one years ago,
I didn't find any below about seventy U.S. dollars at the store where I was
looking. But that needs discussion and I'm not saying there aren't much
cheaper ones. Whatever the case, you don't need to spend a lot of money to
get very good results. I would be much more concerned about the quality of
the tone arm of the turntable, is it a low mass tone arm, and the quality of the
cartridge than on spending a lot of money on a sound card. There may be a
price below which it isn't wise to go but I really doubt there is a need to
spend more than a maximum of about seventy dollars, if that.

Google Voice will prompt you when a call punches through. Example, name of
caller is announced, with an instruction to press 1 to accept. If you don't press1, call is sent to Voicemail. You can also set Google Voice to DISPLAY AS YOUR ORIGINAL NUMBER such that when you make a call from your regular number, it would display your Google Voice number to the call recipient. Note: I've done this in Androidville, can't speak to anything revolving around iOS!!! Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado
