[Electronics-talk] JAWS Rewind and Fast Forward Keys

[David Andrews]

You got it right.  Per haps a small trip back in history will explain 
the situation.  A long time ago, in the 90's, I started a discussion 
area called gui-talk,  It was for discussion of ghe graphical user 
interface, or gui.  People were starting to use windows etc.

As we moved forward there didn't seem to be a place to discuss things 
like accessible appliances, talking caller ID's, cable boxes 
etc.  So, I started electronics-talk.  There were no smart phones, no 
iPhones, no iPads, no iOS or Android, not even talking phones with 
talks or mobile speak.  Wireless meant a base station with a handset 
that you could walk around with.

I still think a place for home electronics and home appliances is 
needed, and since phones weren't excluded in the original 
description, they are ok too.  Also, many things work with iOS or 
android apps now, thermostats, home automation etc.

For computer quiestions, gui-talk is the appropriate choice.

Hope this all makes sense.

Dave
