Re: Looking to by a new computer
Richard Holloway
Apologies if I missed an earlier part of the thread, but I’m seeing "college student" and “computer" and not a lot of detail as to the intended use of a new machine….
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
i7’s are great as others have suggested, but they are expensive and may not be justified on a student’s budget. In a few years, when you’re out of school, i7’s will probably be middle-of the road processors, and far more affordable, and you may want to have the latest, greatest i9, or whatever comes out by then-- once you have more money to spend. i5’s are more intended for the mainstream and even an i3 may be decent enough for your intended tasks, and as fast or faster than some competing processors. If you have a ton of data to store, then drive space is important, but multiple TB's of drive space may well be overkill. Same thing with the RAM. “The more the better” is true up until you have a bunch of ram sitting constantly idle that you paid a few hundred dollars extra for. Look at the programs you want to run and look at that they ask for. Sure, if you’re editing an audio project with dozens of tracks and many precessing effects applied, you’ll need a lot of RAM. Same thing if the machine will be editing video or such, but a basic audio project should not need all that much RAM for basic editing of a few channels. Maybe the OP can clarify the needs for the system? I have both i5 and i7 processors I use in both PC & Mac systems, generally with 8 or 16GB of ram. For most tasks, there is very little difference. Certainly a USB 3 port is faster than a USB 2, but mostly I find that the media I attach is slow enough that USB 3 is not that much faster than USB 2. Down the road, we’ll see more effective use of USB 3, but for now, may peripherals will cause the PC fall back to USB 2 speed anyhow. The same was true as we migrated from USB 1 to 1.1, and then to USB 2. Case in point: last week I needed to transfer a couple of 4TB drives' contents to run full backups of some files. I thought it would be worth doing this over USB 3 as the computer and both drives were USB 3 compliant. What should have run in theory in a small fraction of the time, in reality ran maybe 25% faster than it would have with USB 2. On the solid state drive issue, yes, they’re faster and more reliable, but it depends on how intense your processing needs are as to how much speed increase you’ll see, so focus on the reliability aspect. If you need a lot of storage, you will spend a lot more for a big solid state drive, but they are indeed nice. No matter what drive you get, you should still backup regularly to an external drive, especially for a laptop that could be stolen, and any machine can be lost to a break-in, surge or fire. When that happens, the only safe backup if an off-site backup to a removable drive or the cloud. I don’t think the post suggesting that SSD’s are 99 times better was intended to be taken literally, but just to be clear, an SSD (from what I have read and those I have used) might be anywhere from 30 percent faster up to maybe 3 times faster. How long do you spend waiting on data transfers and documents to open? If you cut a one second wait down to seven-tenths of a second, or even one-teth of a second, who cares? On the other hand a 10 minute data transfer dropping to 3 or 4 minutes, is a big deal, so again, it really depends on what you need to do with the machine. If budget is not unlimited, find a decently configured i5 on sale with a pre-black-friday sale and grab it. You’ll be fine and save a bunch of cash. If the budget is wide open, then sure, grab a loaded i7 with all the trimmings and have fun...

plan to buy a desktop system, then you should know what do you plan to use the system for? If you are in to creating music then a system geared for music production would be more of what you want. If you plan to use a system for word processing, then you should get an off the shelf system which would have plenty of hard drive space, a quad coar system maybe an I 7 processor with 32gb of ram 1 or 2 tb hard drives with windows 7 professional. What ever version of jaws that you like. Hope that this will help give some clarity to your question.

Try the following, if you're wanting this for IE: 1. Open Internet Explorer. 2. Open the tools menu with alt t, type the letter, O, to open the options dialog, & shift + tab one time. 3. Right arrow until you get to privacy. 4. Tab until you get to a button that says advanced settings, & press the space bar to open. 5. You are now in a new dialog. Check the check box that says override automatic cookie handling if it isn't already checked. Use the space bar to check it. 6. Now, start tabbing & you will come to a field with radio buttons, If allow isn't the radio button that is selected, up arrow until that radio button is checked. 7. Tab once to another series of radio buttons. This series controls third party cookies. Up or down arrow until block is checked. Third party cookies are almost always tracking cookies. 8. Tab once more and, if the check box that says, Always allow session cookies is not checked, check it with the space bar. 9. Tab to the ok button and press the space bar, & follow the prompts.

Re: Looking to by a new computer

Tom, look at the amount of memory or what is known as Random Access Memory or RAM. the more gigabytes the smoother the experience and functioning of the system will be.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
you can then look at the hard drive or what is known as storage of programs, documents, music, video, etc. the more gigabytes, the more space you'll have to save stuff. is the hard drive an ssd (solid state drive) or the traditional platter type? ssd's are about 99 times better, faster and more reliable than platter hd's. ssd's are more commonly used for bootup drives that hold the operating system and the programs you'll use, while hd's are used for storage of docs, and other stuff. how many and what version of USB ports are there. 3 is faster than 2. what other ports are there, where are the ports located. the keyboard is essential as it's the primary input peripheral, speakers are essential, especially for us blind persons, unless you use a refreshable braille display, which does not replace the monitor that usually comes with the computer. there's allot to consider without getting into the technical, and rather confusing, stuff. others may have more to contribute to your query. hth

By tablet, I'm referring to a computing device larger than a phone that has a touch screen only, and no readily available keyboard. Computing devices that have auxiliary keyboards are excluded from my definition. There is NO WAY someone, going by touch alone (and no sight), can type as efficiently or as accurately on a touch screen as one can on a device with a physical keyboard. I know a little about touch screen devices. I've used an iPhone for 6 years (from a 3s to a 6s), and although I love my phones, I dictate. When I have to type something, it is a pain. Similarly, I have an UltraBook (a Yoga IdeaPad), a device with both a touch screen and a real keyboard, and I've had it for 4 years (since before JAWS had touch gestures). I've used the touchscreen fewer than 3 times. Frustrated with typing on the touch keyboard, I always revert to the Yoga's built-in keyboard.

I assume that any windows-based tablet that I might get now will automatically come with Windows 10 installed, which I'm ok with, since I'll eventually need to upgrade my other computers to that operating system at some point. Can anyone give me recommendations and approximate costs of windows tablets that would have sufficient resources to accommodate Jaws, and basic Microsoft software such as Microsoft Office, Outlook e-mail, etc.? At one point, I had considered moving to an IPad, but I am quite comfortable with the Jaws to windows interface, so would prefer to stick with a Windows tablet if at all possible. Thank you!

Admin: List Migration Schedule
James Homuth
Folks,
As announced on this list last week, we'll be moving over to a groups.io list as of precisely next Monday (as in, 1 week from tomorrow). What does this mean for list membership? Presently, the list we're moving to is closed to new subscriptions. This is so I can get most things set up ahead of the list move. The new list, however, is online and I'll include the link to view it in this message. The following will happen, in relatively short order, on Monday, November 30. * Posting to this list will be turned off, and new subscriptions will be closed. A message will be sent out to people trying to subscribe to this list indicating where they should go instead. * Existing members of this list will be manually added to the new groups.io list. Posting to the new groups.io list can begin the moment you've been informed you are subscribed to that list. * I will be working with groups.io after everyone is moved over to have the messages from this list transferred to the new list. There are roughly 10 years worth of messages in the current archive, and we're not going to lose those. When the transfer is finished, the entire archive will be searchable, publicly, on groups.io. * this list will remain active, but in name only. It will redirect people to the groups.io list, similar to how those of you who were with us on Freelists will remember I set up when I moved us to where we're at now. When it looks like most things have taken the hint, and updated their links to point to the groups.io list, this list will be shut down. * When the new list is up and running, your moderation team will be announced. I've started the selection process already, and will be speaking to those of you who will be moving forward with that process over the next couple days. A reminder that you can still express your interest in helping to moderate the list until the official moving date of November 30. If you have any questions re: this process, you can reach me off-list at: james@the-jdh.com To get a look at what we'll be using for our new list, and to take note of important email addresses, direct yourselves to this page: http://groups.io/g/jfw This should be a relatively painless transition, but as always, any issues that crop up, your new list moderators and I will be keeping an ear out. General ways to contact all of us, when we go live, are available on the page I just linked. If it breaks in transition, let us know. If it breaks badly enough, you get to keep both pieces--but still, let us know. Otherwise, keep on doing what you do and let's make the new list as awesome a resource as the old one, if not better.
