Google Drive
Cristóbal
So, it looks like the long rumored Google Drive is for real. Google even
specifically mentions that screen reader users will be able to use it. I havent' had a chance to play with it, but I'm going to guess that they're only refering to the storage aspects and not the Google Docs part that have so far been a screen reading disaster. Has anyone been able to try it out yet? They even talk about OCR recognition. Considering that it offers way more free storage than Dropbox, I think I may give it a shot especially once they put out their IOS app. Below is the Google Blog update. I came across it via Lifehacker. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/introducing-google-drive-yes-really.h tml#!/2012/04/introducing-google-drive-yes-really.html

Re: No, Thanks -- Live, Free Telephone Helpfor setting-up Peachtree Complete Accounting

I would encourage you to lobby them to get 64 bit Windows 7 for you, especially if you need to run something beastly like Peachtree.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
There are some disadvantages to a 64 bit OS. 64 bit drivers for older peripherals such as a printers/scanners can be harder to find than 32 bit drivers. Some legacy software might run better in 32 bit "compatibility" mode. If you do not have to worry about old legacy software or old peripherals, 64 bit and >= 6GB RAM is probably an excellent choice for people seeking performance improvements. At some point in the future 32 bit software will be obsolete, just as 16 bit and 8 bit software is now almost completely obsolete. If I remember correctly, Windows Server 2008 does not have a 32 bit version.

Installing peachtree worked fine for me
Tim McNulty <timinco88@...>
Hi Richard
I am running windows 7 pro 32 bit. I have 6 giga bytes of ram on my computer. I do not think my computer "smokin", but it is a good one! Dave's comments below are accurate. I am glad to hear that the Guide is being revised as you described below. It is true that peachtree is not a toy, so, anyone who thinks it is something that can be played around with will be frustrated. Also, before I began to install it, I had my girlfriend (sighted) help me with those few initial setup requirements. I always have trouble with "step a", but now that I am at "step b" (peachtree properly installed) I think I am well on my way. Hope this helps... Tim ________________________________ From: Richard B McDonald <richardbmcdonald@gmail.com> To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' <jfw@lists.the-jdh.com> Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 11:58 PM Subject: RE: Live, Free Telephone Help for setting-up Peachtree Complete Accounting Hi Dave! Your comments are welcome and valid. In fact, some have already been addressed but are a few days away from rolling-out. Please allow me to address each as follows: About the download time for the Peachtree application trial, well, of course as you know that is purely an arithmetic, bandwidth thing. Indeed, the download comes straight from Peachtree's website. Even Sage says there that it is a big file. It is a huge download because you are getting, basically, the complete application file; not merely a shell or "express" version of it. That is important also because the trial scripts need to interact with the whole, "real" application for a user to really get a feel for the robustness of the solution. Next, about the Installation Guide, I agree with you about its ambiguity. I previously made revisions to it for just that. Those revisions are imminent. Moreover, you are further correct about making it clearer to load-up the sample company (Bell Weather Garden) to make some of the initial settings. I will gladly roll-in your comments about making it more specific. We have also revised the Guide to be a bit more specific about system requirements; in particular, lots of RAM. Personally, my laptop has eighth gigabytes of RAM. We recommend that amount. I have observed that, with six or less gigabytes of RAM, the system bogs-down. This is a natural result of the demands on any system put upon it by running both Peachtree and JAWS. That is heavy. My own experience on my laptop is that it operates plenty fast, and has never crashed. But, again, a smokin' computer is a prerequisite. Also, sighted or not, registering with Peachtree over the Internet is and has always been shall we say difficult technically. In fact, we do not recommend doing it that way. Rather, it is so much easier just to call Sage's toll-free number and get the registration/customer numbers. You are right about the Guide lacking those instructions. It will be incorporated into it now. These instructions are, however, in the "Tips and Tricks" file (not that same-named section of the Guide) on our website here: http://www.scriptsforjaws.com/peachtreetraining.php Finally, installing and setting-up an application as robust as Peachtree is not a novice endeavor to be sure. Like installing any commercial-grade application (e.g., Windows 7, Visual Studio, etc.) a little help to get us past the first step is rather normal. Indeed, I need someone to help me install even the most simple of programs: being blind I cannot read those silly "product key" numbers! However, we totally get your point, and are going to do something about it. From now on, those who purchase the scripts will get free, live installationsupport direct from Virtual Vision Technologies <http://virtualvisiontech.com/content.cfm?page=11&topic=63> . We want to offer you this support right now too! Also, we can do even more for you. You can e-mail me directly at: richardbmcdonald@scriptsforjaws.com So, again, we really appreciate your feedback. What more can we do? How can we make it better? Best regards, Richard www.scriptsforjaws.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Oh, and here's the list. I guess the sports fans will again be happy until ResearchIt breaks again. Enhancements in JAWS 13.0.852 (April 2012) region start enhancements in JAWS 13.0.852 (April 2012) The following is a list of items addressed or added between the final JAWS 13.0.718 release and the JAWS 13.0.852 posting. . Improved how JAWS works in ARIA menus in Internet Explorer and Firefox. . A new DAISY book on using the Convenient OCR feature is now available. To install this book, select Check for Updates from the JAWS Help menu, then choose Convenient OCR DAISY Book. . The NBA, NHL, and MLB ResearchIt lookup sources now include the city for each team in the results just like with the NFL lookup source. . Resolved issues with the NFL and Business Search ResearchIt lookup sources not correctly returning results. . Resolved a reported issue where in some cases, characters would be missing when typing in Microsoft Word. . Addressed issues encountered in WPF applications when selecting text and navigating by paragraph. . Resolved an issue with the GetColumnText built--in script function not working as expected in Microsoft Excel. . JAWS now announces the character being deleted when you press the BACKSPACE key in the Express version of Visual Studio 2010. . When US International is set as the default input language in Windows 7 64-bit, addressed an issue where the Typing Echo setting in JAWS was not honored when entering text using 32-bit applications such as Microsoft Word or Internet Explorer. In addition, JAWS would echo the characters in password edit fields. . In Internet Explorer, If an ARIA live region is inside of an iframe, JAWS will now read the live region as expected. . Resolved an intermittent issue under Windows 7 64-bit where JAWS would not close properly when attempting to shut down or reboot the computer. When this occured, the computer would need to be manually powered off. . When performing any of the JAWS table navigation keystrokes in a message in Lotus Notes, JAWS now indicates that table navigation is not supported. This functionality is not available in Lotus Notes. . Resolved a customer reported issue where Excel 2010 on Windows XP would unexpectedly close when attempting to navigate in the Names Manager dialog box. . When navigating a form in Microsoft Word that contains dropdown combo boxes, resolved an issue where braille Structured Mode was showing mnu instead of cbo when the field is closed. . Resolved an issue in Microsoft Word where the message "press F1 for help" was not being flashed in braille when focused on a form field that offers associated help. If the F1 Help option in Quick Settings is set to Read with formfield, the help message for a form field is also now flashed in braille. . Resolved an issue where only the last word was underlined in braille after pressing CTRL+A to select all in a multi-line edit field in Firefox. .

Resolved a customer reported issue where the message "computer braille" was being announced after every keystroke when composing a message in Lotus Notes 7. . Improved JAWS reading when navigating in ARIA treeviews in Firefox 11. . Resolved an issue with navigating in a Microsoft Word form that uses a table where pressing INSERT+TAB was not reporting the current position in the form. This command worked correctly when used in a table that was not part of a form. In addition, the contents of form fields are now announced before the table position information. . Resolved an issue where pressing INSERT+H in Lotus Notes to list the available hot keys was displaying command descriptions, but not the associated keystroke. . JAWS now correctly recognizes the datatable=0 tag attribute in Firefox. . Resolved a customer reported issue where JAWS was not working properly with the Nuance Enterprise Express Editor, a medical transcription plugin for Word. .

I must have missed that somewhere, or if it's not specifically stated anywhere -- it certainly should be. Not everyone has this, nor the 8G of RAM. MY order for a Cray computer has still not been approved by my company. It does explain why it brought my mere Windows 7 32-bit quad core 4G RAM system to its knees yesterday, leaving a whimpering, slobbering TRS-80 in its place. I had to rudely kill it all with the power button 5-second death press. Then a 30-minute scan disc before my desktop reappeared. Not again, thank you, on any of my Neanderthal 32-bit machines, thank you very much, and sorry for the slight bit of sarcasm in my tone. I've completely exorcised Peachtree and the scripts from my computer and I'll wait to see what progress is being made with Intuit's products with regard access.

Your comments are welcome and valid. In fact, some have already been addressed but are a few days away from rolling-out. Please allow me to address each as follows: About the download time for the Peachtree application trial, well, of course as you know that is purely an arithmetic, bandwidth thing. Indeed, the download comes straight from Peachtree's website. Even Sage says there that it is a big file. It is a huge download because you are getting, basically, the complete application file; not merely a shell or "express" version of it. That is important also because the trial scripts need to interact with the whole, "real" application for a user to really get a feel for the robustness of the solution. Next, about the Installation Guide, I agree with you about its ambiguity. I previously made revisions to it for just that. Those revisions are imminent. Moreover, you are further correct about making it clearer to load-up the sample company (Bell Weather Garden) to make some of the initial settings. I will gladly roll-in your comments about making it more specific. We have also revised the Guide to be a bit more specific about system requirements; in particular, lots of RAM. Personally, my laptop has eighth gigabytes of RAM. We recommend that amount. I have observed that, with six or less gigabytes of RAM, the system bogs-down. This is a natural result of the demands on any system put upon it by running both Peachtree and JAWS. That is heavy. My own experience on my laptop is that it operates plenty fast, and has never crashed. But, again, a smokin' computer is a prerequisite. Also, sighted or not, registering with Peachtree over the Internet is and has always been shall we say difficult technically. In fact, we do not recommend doing it that way. Rather, it is so much easier just to call Sage's toll-free number and get the registration/customer numbers. You are right about the Guide lacking those instructions. It will be incorporated into it now. These instructions are, however, in the "Tips and Tricks" file (not that same-named section of the Guide) on our website here: http://www.scriptsforjaws.com/peachtreetraining.php Finally, installing and setting-up an application as robust as Peachtree is not a novice endeavor to be sure. Like installing any commercial-grade application (e.g., Windows 7, Visual Studio, etc.) a little help to get us past the first step is rather normal. Indeed, I need someone to help me install even the most simple of programs: being blind I cannot read those silly "product key" numbers! However, we totally get your point, and are going to do something about it. From now on, those who purchase the scripts will get free, live installationsupport direct from Virtual Vision Technologies <http://virtualvisiontech.com/content.cfm?page=11&topic=63> . We want to offer you this support right now too! Also, we can do even more for you. You can e-mail me directly at: richardbmcdonald@scriptsforjaws.com So, again, we really appreciate your feedback. What more can we do? How can we make it better? Best regards, Richard www.scriptsforjaws.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
