I'm not sure of the difference between a touch computer and a tablet, such

as the I Pad. With the pads, you have internet connectivity and the input device is your finger. With a conventional desktop computer, the input device is a keyboard or mouse. The monitor is perpendicular to your real desktop so a sighted person can look at the screen. This would make using your finger difficult and tiring. I wonder what Windows eight does about that. Has anyone seen a demo? Abby

Yes, you are correct, one does use their finger on the computer screen perpindicularly. I've seen people do it but haven't tried it myself. They also have a keyboard. I hear one can turn off this touch feature; what I do not know and wonder about myself is their duol ways of doing something like either touch or keyboard? I sure don't want to lean over to try and focus on some place on the screen in order to find where to touch. The touch screen on an iPad and iPhone is easier because of being able to hold it at the right angle. Debbie, Chaz & Jessie e-mail: jessesgirl@...

Hi,

Having messed around with an iPad on a few occasions and my iPhone for nearly ten months now, one thing that I've come to appreciate is knowing exactly how screens are laid out. Screen readers are great tools, but sometimes it's hard to get a clear idea of the spatial relationships between screen elements. Tom

Did it take you very long to get used to the touch screen and layout of the i-phone OS in comparison to a windows based OS? Thanks

Hi Drew,

There are a number of things to master, including learning the various gestures and when to use them with the different kinds of controls, and touch typing and editing can be a tricky business. Once you get the hang of those things, life with an IOS device gets much simpler. Regarding typing and editing, sometimes it's just easier for me to connect a bluetooth keyboard or pair the IOS device with my BrailleNote Apex. Those are great combinations, by the way. One nice aspect of using IOS is that the user interfaces among apps that work well with VoiceOver are fairly consistent in how they operate. I have to qualify all this by saying that even after ten months with the iPhone, I still have a lot to learn, but I'm having fun doing it. Tom
