Installing an Operating System as a VM Using VMWare Player
by Steve Matzura 17 Jan '15

How is the boot process of a CD or DVD accomplished from inside VMware Player? I've started operating systems from extracted ISO images, but never from a real hardware disk. Thanks in advance.

Packet capture tools
by Sean Murphy 17 Jan '15

17 Jan '15

Hi all. Anyone on the list who feels that they are an expert with packet captures? I have many many questions to ask. Such as extracting specific data, identifying out-of-order packets, delay, jitter, extracting only specific header info, and so on. I am using Tshark and TCPdump. The GUIO of Wireshark isn’t that friendly. Thus CLI is what I am using. Sean

Fully funcional windows 10 screen reader petition
by Mario Percinic 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Hey everyone. someone has started a petition on microsoft's own windows 10 forum to add a fully functional screen reader to windows. If the petition gets enough votes, microsoft will consider it as an addition to windows 10. Please sign in and spred it around as much as possible. If we get enough votes, there is huge possibility that we could press microsoft to actually do something about it. the link for the petition is: https://windows.uservoice.com/forums/265757-windows-feature-suggestions/sug… -- Mario Percinic Accessibility consultant mario.percinic(a)gmail.com skype: acousticman gsm: +385922630259

screen reader ratings
by John G Heim 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

All, I've put together a rudimentary screen reader rating page. http://www.iavit.org/~john/screenreaders/ It was triggered by the different comments on this list about the quality of different screen readers. There seems to be some disagreement about the capabilities of the different screen readers. I am hoping to collect all the pluses and minuses of each screen reader and end up with a overall rating for each. I threw together some very preliminary numbers. I don't feel that I know enough about each screen reader to actually rate them. So I put a feedback link at the bottom of the page. Any/all corrections are appreciated but please do include the rationale for your opinions.

This is pure speculation on my part, but Microsoft appears to be very close since the agreement in place to have a free version of Window-Eyes with a valid installation of MS Office. I believe Microsoft did this when they included an anti-virus solution with their OS, they just obtained it from a company that already had one in place.

Looking for a tiny battery operated PC.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 08 Jan '15

I'm working on a really tiny battery operated project at the moment. Anyone know of a PC that is about the size of a raspberry pi that can run for about eight hours on a battery? It doesn't need to have network or video out. It needs two USB and 1 audio out. I could build one using a Raspberry pi but I'd need someone with a 3D printer to get the case right. I don't particularly mind if it runs Windows or Linux but if it's Linux, enough power to run Gnome and Orca would be great.

Support tools. / incident tracking.
by Darragh Ó Héiligh 08 Jan '15

Hello, I quite urgently need your suggestions for the most accessible and most affordable support tracking tool that you have used and / or set up. Autotask has become completely inaccessible. I really cant manage people with this tool because I have lost all access to the dash boards. I can look at my work. But I cant see what anyone else is doing.
