The September issue of AccessWorld is now available on our website.
This issue features: 



a.. Editor's Page: A Step Out of the AccessWorld Box Is Good for Readers 
a.. Running Windows on Your VoiceOver Enabled Mac, by Bill Holton 
This article describes Boot Camp, but focuses on a second, and in my opinion better, way to run Windows on a Mac, and that is by creating a virtual machine using a third-party Mac application called VM Fusion.

a.. Freedom Scientific Focusing On Braille Part 2: A Review of the Focus Blue 40 Braille Display, by Deborah Kendrick 
If reading a full braille line is essential to your personal productivity, the Focus Blue 40 is for you!

a.. A Review of Spotify Free and Songza: Take the Music with You, by Janet Ingber 
If you are a music lover, I recommend downloading the free versions of both apps. Songza is easier to use, but Spotify gives more functionality. I have both on my phone and use them equally.

a.. Overcast: This Accessible iOS App Brings Sunny Weather to Podcast Listeners, by Bill Holton 
I recommend this app to VoiceOver users who use their iPhone or iPad for podcast listening. It is well worth the $4.99 purchase price, and given the bona fides of the developer, I am confident new features and improvements will be both forthcoming and frequent.

a.. Series: The Work of the Smith-Kettlewell Instituteâ?"Part V: Bill Gerrey: Profile of a Pioneer, Scientist, and Role Model who is Blind, by Deborah Kendrick 
Bill Gerrey likes to say that his has been a world of Tinker Toys and he is a master of playing with the Tinker Toy set. In his 40-plus years of scientific research, he says, he just liked building stuff. And he has loved sharing what he knows with other blind people.
