Yes, Laz, I am well aware that he is sighted. But that is no excuse for treating fellow blind list members with such scorn and disrespect. If he lacks the patience to deal with blind computer users li

So then you believe the President, who claims that there have been fewer than 10,000 deaths related to the Corona virus? Where's the evidence for his ridiculous assertion? Gerald

As usual, your response is arrogant and condescending. You accused me earlier of being "nasty", for which I apologize. But telling a fellow list member to esentially go "look it up herself" is equally

That's because Google does not have a dedicated phone helpline for disabled customers. Gerald

"Small" is a relative term. If millions of baby boomers experience sight loss due to AMD, glaucoma or other causes,in the coming years as many experts have predicted, then this is more than a "small"

And of course, your sighted husband never provided an iota of assistance,right? Gerald

As usual, you don't know what you are talking about. I have ordered three computers from them, so I know what I'm talking about, including the Windows 7 desktop on which I am composing this message. R

Well, your brother is lucky to have a tech savvy sibling like you who is available to help him. Not all of us are so fortunate. Gerald

Well, you are lucky that you have access to taxis and ride-hailing services. In NYC, taxis and ride-hailing services do not serve many low-income neighborhoods. This has been the case even before the

To amplify my point a littlefurther, I have a blind, technophobic ladyfriend who lives in an assisted living facility. She has been in complete lockdown since mid-March because of Covid restrictions.

This is not quite true. As a blind person, you are most definitely entitled to a special car and"chauffeur". It's called paratransit, and it is a service availabel for reasonable fare in all major cit

An Apple IPhone starts at $700. To me, this is expensive. Accessible? I understand thatthe the newly released IPhone 12 has no physical home button, so how would a blind consumer turn on Voice Over wi

The bottom line is that both the Amazon Echo and Google Home smart speakers were never really designed with accessibility in mind in the first place. To set up a Google Home device, you need an expens

But using a cheapo, non-Apple generic charger could damage the battery or phone itself and void the warranty. This happened to my lady companion when she used a charger she purchased at the local 99 c

Start trembling. A charger will set you back $40. Plus another $40 for bluetoot earbuds, which are also not included, but you may need, anyway, because there is no headphone jack. Oh, and didI mention

As long as you have a 4G phone, it is compatible with 5G networks, and you are not missing much of anything. Unless you buy into the media hype and want to fork over $700 or more for a 5G IPhone 12, w

Mozilla seems to have a peculiar obsession with security. They are constantly releasing new versions of Firefox and Thunderbird which are purported to be "more secure" than previous versions, but of c

Are there any podcasts that demonstrate how to create this magical talking PE disk, plus a demonstration of how to use it to restore a backup image from an external hard drive without sighted help of
