Anyone using Sametime on a Mac?
by Scott Granados 20 Mar '15

Hi, so I’ve recently taken a new job and the company uses Sametime for messaging. I have used this before a long time ago but am having accessibility issues now where I can’t read what was sent to me. Has anyone used this package, especially on a Mac and have any ideas for things to adjust? I have enabled the accessibility features under preferences with no luck. Any ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks Scott

Hello, Is there a way to get 8.1 installed with speech? I'm needing to do it on a physical drive not a virtual machine to test an issue with VMware. Thanks. Dave.

Does NV Access have registered charitable status anywhere? I was thinking of drafting a letter seeking donations and sending it to a friend of mine who is high up in one of the banks here in Canada, and also to a friend who does coaching for large businesses. i.e. the only two really wealthy people I can think of. But, either of them would probably only donate if they could get a tax receit for it. At 06:39 AM 3/11/2015, you wrote: >Hi, > >I've also donated.
