Well said!

Hi,

I concur with Brian and others who pointed out that it is important to think about purposes of getting a new computer and choose specs based on them. I myself have settled on a ThinkPad for the next laptop due to the reputation of its keyboard, as I sought a writer’s machine with decent specs (not the top of the line).

If I read Jim’s initial request correctly, he wants a machine for music production and related tasks. For these, I think a decent Intel I5 or I7 would suffice (four to six cores), or a cheaper alternative being a mid-range AMD Ryzen (3 or 5 should be enough). Apart from RAM (8 to 16 GB should be enough for music production needs), what’s more important for music professionals is the quality of the sound card (internal sound cards may work, but if one wants to get into heavy music production, add-on cards (PCI Express) or mixers are preferred, and you must factor that when purchasing this particular system).

Cheers,

Joseph

This is the first and primary question anyone planning to purchase a computer should be asking.  I have seen far too many of my clients who were sold grossly overspecced systems for what they intend to do with them.  You match your tool to your task(s) and give yourself a bit of growing room.

From my business webpage:  "Unless you have very demanding computing needs it's unlikely you need or want a computer with every available bell and whistle."

People, even screen reader users, who are doing little more than web browsing, emailing, and using various typical office suite programs do not need a machine that's tricked out to the degree that it would work for multi-player realtime online gamers or professionals who use 3D modeling or animation software.  And unused processing power and/or memory is just a dead asset and waste of money.

I haven't seen even an intense business user need more than 16GB of RAM, and very few home users will ever benefit from that much, though if they've got it this will give most of them plenty of breathing room in the RAM department.

I guess that my earlier suggestion regarding the windows C command  was for earlier versions of windows.  It doesn’t seemed to be mentioned in the training manual that comes with Jaws.    

For multiple clip board items is the command Insert, Windows key and the letter C

Hi it used  too be, that if you do a windows c command you could then copy multiple items to the clipboard.

I suspect there is a separate command for copying into the Jaws clipboard, what might that be?

Though with this newer Windows feature, that might be enough, but it is good to know ones alternatives.

Thanks,

The Jaws layered command insert+space bar then C gives you the following according to Jaws: “opens the Clipboard Text Viewer and displays all text copied and appended to the Clipboard. You can then select and copy text from the viewer and paste it in other applications.”

Bob, or someone,

Could you enlighten me on how to use the Jaws clipboard?

I tried to find it in the Jaws settings center and came up with a big fat 0.

Thanks,

Richard

Hello all,

I feel obliged to inform you that a sighted friend of mine fixed the issue for me, I think by doing something under Disk Management.

I sincerely thank you all for all your efforts to help me!

With all best wishes,

If you are running Win 10 and are up to date you can now copy multiple items to the clipboard.  This feature must be turned on in Settings>>System>>Clipboard before you can use it.  I think that this feature was introduced in version 2004.  I believe that once it is enabled the keystroke to see what is on your clipboard is Windows key + V.

Richard,

 

Once you move to the first file it's already selected, so pressing the spacebar will dee-select it.  But, as you arrow throught the list you do need to keep the control key held down and tap the spacebar on each file you want to select.  When you're down selecting you let up on the control key and then either cut, copy or move the selected files.

Stay safe and take care.  Mike.

OK, with files there is a trick to this.

 

Arrow to the first file you want to copy and press and hold the control key, and tap the spacebar without releasing the control key.

Then, while holding down the control key, arrow to the next file and tap the spacebar without releasing the control key,

Keep doing this until you select the last file and press control+c.

Then go and paste the files where you want them.

 

HTH,

I have an Acer running Windows 10 and the latest version of JAWS. The last 2 Windows updates have changed my function keys back to their original settings. This means I have to add the function key to make typical commands work. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I have to bring up my computer and go into the BIOS and get sighted assistance to put the function keys back the way I want them. This is extremely frustrating.

If you want to append multiple items to the clipboard with Jaws, it would be insert+Windows key+C. The you could then do the layered command insert+space bar then C to view the multiple items copied. The only thing with appending multiple   items, is that you you have to get into the habit of selecting and copying a blank space first. Kind of like clearing the clipboard. Otherwise, you’ll have a bunch of copied stuff you don’t’ want.

Hmmm.  The JAWS layered command option only seems to be showing the last thing I copied to the clipboard. I supposed this is useful in some cases, such as to see if you grabbed what you wanted to copy, but not what I needed.  Still nice to now know of the Windows clipboard history, the Office clipboard keystrokes, and the Ditto application.

I am usually talking about files.

Thanks.  That looks like a cool little program. I cannot install that here at work, but I’ll look at it for home use.
