Hi Dennis, I would have replied off list but it seems to be impossible to extract the sender's address from at least this message. Please note that the program is named after the metal, not after an u

I use Jaws with Braille and without speech. This means two things: First, I don't know what is spoken; second, I can see that auto complete works after I type (part of) a name and then press Tab, at l

Hi Ann, I don't use a one-handed keyboard but I do use the two-handed Dvorak keyboard layout in Control Panel. There are Dvorak layouts for one-handed use in control panel though, one for each hand. U

Hi folks, Last week I wanted to preorder Tchaikovsky's six symphonies by the Detroit Symphony, available for preorder only on iTunes. I went around in circles trying to create an Apple ID. I'm on Wind

I use the Linux version of WordNet under Cygwin for simple lookups. For complicated ones I use dictionary.com, again under Cygwin. But lately I'm increasingly impressed with Wiktionary, available thro

On Windows 7 Outlook Express is now called Windows Live Mil.

Note that Notepad does not display Linux files properly. Everything else I've used does, including, of course, the DOS version of Emacs. There is also Cygwin which contains a whole bunch of editors, a

I haven't worked hard at fixing notepad++, but it doesn't look tremendously good in Braille. WordPad looks good and is free, and the last time I used UltraEdit (eons ago!) it also looked good and was
