So what are the chances of my being mugged while using an ATM? Do you have any stats? I mean, how does it compare, for example, to my chances of being struck by lightning? Evan

You’re not just being vigilant, you’re being paranoid. As others have pointed out, using someone else to handle your money is risky. At least, if someone mugs me using an ATM, I’ll know it right away.

Exactly, Gene. That’' was my point about being negative. One who is so inclined can always come up with some way to be paranoid about getting money out of the bank, however one chooses to do it. Evan

I've been reading his posts for years. And believe me, he's pretty much always negative. Evan

Indeed, someone assisting you with an ATM transaction can rip you off without your knowing it. Which is why I prefer to do my banking myself if I can, which I can with the accessible ATM's I can get t

Yup, I'm all set. One of them is in a grocery store and plenty of people are around. I'm not worried about being mugged. The other one is in a local CVS, maybe fifteen or twenty feet from the cash reg

As far as the technology existing for a blind person to completely run one of those, if the bank machines we have around here are any indicator, then indeed it does. I can do everything with the bank

Yeah, it’s more accessible with JAWS than I had originally thought. I’d still like to hear the volume level when I up or down arrow, as I do when I run it with Window Eyes, and I’d still like to hear

I like using them with the Window Eyes scripts, so it’s great to know that the same commands exist for JAWS, just different keystrokes. Evan

Hey, thanks very much. This is great. Evan

Yup, the Window Eyes scripts let you do both of these things. When I’m playing a file in Winamp with Window Eyes and the scripts, I just hit the letter m and the Time Bookmark dialogue box opens. I en

Well, there a whole lot more hot keys for one thing. For example, when you’re playing a file locally, alt-shift-u tells you how long a track is, alt-shift-i tells you how much time has elapsed, and al

Hey Guys, Well, I’ve finally bitten the bullet and installed JAWS 18. I’ve been a Window Eyes loyalist since 2007, and I’ve hung onto it as long as I could. One thing I’ve noticed right away with this

Unfortunately, with the one I was on, the one that had been run by the company that makes K1000, they told us that they were shutting it down. If there is, or was, another Kurzweil list, I hadn’t hear

I’m not aware of any Kurzweil email lists at the moment. There used to be a really good one run by the manufacturer, with people on it from the company who could answer questions and solve problems, b

As to your first objection, you are right that you get no info about what is playing on each channel on the page with the links to play them. But, if you click on the link that loads the stations into

Well, four out of the five channels work anyway; now that the Drama channel is back, with one of the working ones mislabeled. But they do not respond to messages. At least, they didn't respond to mine

Oh, it works fine. It just says Comedy in the title of the channel instead of Brain whenever I listen to it. Can't recall when that started, but it's been weeks at least, if not a few months. Evan

Yes, the Drama channel is back, but the long dead Scifi channel is still gone, and the Brain channel says Comedy. So I don't know what's going on there. Evan

Speaking of the NFB's stance on described video, one of the parody commercials blindy.tv has played, (although I haven't heard it in quite a while), is called NFB TV, in which various things were on t
