This morning while I was at the gym I happened to look look up at the television and a blurb for the next segment on the Today Show was on and I saw it had something to do with ALS. Not needing a good excuse to cut my workout short I grabbed my keys and bolted home. Its not often that something to do with our industry is featured on national TV.

As I'm watching the segment about Augie Nieto, www.augiesquest.com, they start talking about the technology he is using for computer access. One of the products happens to be our BIGtrack trackball. Augie uses the BIGtrack with his feet and an onscreen keyboard. To see the whole story click here.

Anyway this made my day and thought I would share my excitement.

Onyx Deskset: Reset and Changing the Battery

Here is a quick technical tip that might be helpful if you use a Freedom Scientific Onyx Deskset. At some point you might need to change the battery or do a quick reset on your Onyx Deskset.

Here's how:
First you will need to slightly unbend a small paperclip, then look on the camera near the Serial Number, you should find a slight/small hole opening. . .

1. Keeping the Onyx power ON
2. Pop out a battery from the remote --- Keep this very close !!
3. Take the slightly unbent paperclip and ever so slightly push it into the small opening on the camera.
4. You ONLY have about 5 to 7 seconds, so QUICKLY reinsert the battery to the remote and this should reset the Onyx.
