Happy new year to those who are in the eastern time zone and further. Also for those who are a day ahead. Hoping 2020 will be a better year for all.

Sir,
Thank you for your clarifying email. I would like to remind you that the year is only 2020 "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" in the Western Christian tradition, and is not based on an actually observable incident. Based on historical data, some have argued that the entire numbering system is as far off as 3 years from the census that supposedly took place right before Christ's birth. Also, the Julian/Gregorian calendar, which transfers from 1 BC (year of Christ's birth) to 1 AD (a baby Christ's first birthday?) without a year zero are not the only calendars to measure 2020 years from that point: several other Eastern and Western calendars count the years from 0, which corresponds to 1 BC in the Julian/Gregorian. Taking such discrepancies into consideration, it makes perfect sense to celebrate the birth of a new decade at year zero.
Yours respectfully, Oriana

Re: Welcome to the new decade

Hi group,
I will be ready to wish everybody a happy new decade in precisely one year from now. The actual fact is that the new decade (the 2020's) does not scientifically start until 12:00 AM January 1, 2021. The simple fact is that there is nor has there ever been a year zero. Therefore, when you begin numbering years, it is just as if you are counting any object such as dollars, chickens or daffodils. You don't have ten of them until you actually have ten in hand. Arthur C. Clark the author of 2001 A Space Odyssey predicted this in his 1968 novel of the same name, written concurrently with the production of Stanley Kubrick's movie production. In that book, Clark projects that people would celebrate the turn of the millennium on January 1, 2000 rather than when it should be celebrated on January 1, 2001. This prediction came true--exactly as Clark described it. So it is with this idea of the beginning of a decade. So long story short: the decade ain't over until it's over on January 1, 2001.

Why update programs just because updates are available?Because: 1.

The first thing you're going to be asked if you seek support, for anything, is, "Are you on the latest version?," and being told to do that first. There is virtually no reason to not keep your programs and add-ons up-to-date. It's best practice to do this. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor. ~ Robert Frost, The Black Cottage (1914)

I wanted to confirm that this latest version of the addon does indeed work with Thunderbird 68.3.0. It is an absolute joy to have this capability.

Re: quick folder navigation extenskion for Mozilla Thunderbiord no longer works

Just one more example of what I say from time to time. Why update
programs just because updates are available? There are programs that
should be updated, such as browsers for security reasons and because, given
enough time, increasingly more sites won’t work with an old browser that hasn’t
been updated for a long time. But e-mail is an old protocol and it is
unlikely you will have security problems or vulnerabilities if you don’t update
for a good while.
Of course, a program may have features you want in an upgraded version but
if you are just using Thunderbird for mail, I doubt that new features for e-mail
have been added for a long time.

Re: NVDA and tablets

Hi.

Hmmm. I sometimes have trouble with this myself, especially with more than two fingers. Try turning input help mode on by double tapping the screen with two fingers. I find the input mode useful as it tells you what the touch gestures do, if anything. And it's a great way to practice using multi-finger gestures, you won't have to worry about accidently clicking on anything when input help is on. Hope this helps. Regards Molly

However, it's split into 2 lines, so copy both lines, and paste it into the web-browser's address bar, then it should work.

Re: NVDA and tablets

On my surface I switch between using the touchscreen and the keyboard. Both work very good. Sometimes it is more practical to use the touchscreen because the screen doesn’t stay up if the device isn’t on a flat surface.
From: nvda@nvda.groups.io <nvda@nvda.groups.io> On Behalf Of Josh Kennedy
I use it on my RCA cambio windows 10 home tablet and it works very good. Even the vocalizer voices with NVDA work good on the tablet with its intel atom processor.
