> Our next meeting of the Philadelphia Computer Users' Group for the Blind and 
> visually Impaired will take place this coming Friday, October 24 at 8:00 PM 
> Eastern time via our phone conferencing system.  All are welcome to 
> participate, even those outside of the Philadelphia area.  Please note that 
> this is a week earlier than we would normally have our meeting.  However, the 
> weekend of October 31 coincides with a local ACB convention, is celebrated by 
> some as Halloween and is the vigil of All Saints' Day for Catholics and some 
> of us, myself included, may be attending Mass that evening. Therefore, our 
> next phone meeting will be on October 24.
> 
> A lot has happened during the past month and so we have the potential to 
> discuss a large amount of topics.  Here are some things we could talk about.
> 
> 1.  iOS 8.1 is scheduled for release on October 20.  For those who will 
> decide to download it, I'd like to know how you like it?  Has it improved by 
> correcting many of the bugs plaguing many of us using iOS 8.0.x?
> 2.  The second beta release of JAWS 16 was released toward the end of 
> September and the final version could be out at any time, possibly by the 
> time of our next meeting.  Have any of you been using the beta?  What do you 
> think of the new features, such as the JAWS commands search feature as well 
> as the ability to read scanned PDF files.
> 
> 3.  Apple has announced a new iPad Air, a new iPad Mini and has reduced the 
> prices of older iPads, such as $249.00 for the first-generation iPad Mini?  
> They've also announced an updated Mac Mini starting at $499.00 and an updated 
> 27-inch iMac.  Are any of these announcements causing you to consider 
> purchasing a Mac?
> 
> 4.  OSX 10.10 Yosemite, the new operating system for the Mac, was released.  
> It includes easier keyboard navigation within Safari as well as access to 
> iBooks.  Have any Mac users installed it?  what do you like about it?  what 
> issues or bugs have you discovered?
> 
> 5.  Microsoft released their first technical preview build of windows 10, 
> which seems to work with JAWS and NVDA, at least enough to make Windows 10 
> usable.  Have any of you been brave enough to install it?  If so, I'm curious 
> to know what you think of the new OS?
> 
> 6.  In addition to a new Nexus 9 tablet and a Nexus 6 phone, Google has 
> announced the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop.  Are there any blind or low 
> vision Android users who will be moving to this OS, assuming that your 
> particular non-Nexus phone will be offering it?
> 
> I'd love to hear your questions and comments about these and any other 
> tech-related topics.  To participate, call
> (712) 432-3900
> when prompted for your access code, enter
> 391477

> See you on October 24.
