This week we continue the presentation from the ACB 2017 Conference and Convention with a look at AIRA and how it might impact your travels. Then there's this little event happening on Monday. You might have heard about it? Oh, that thing where the moon goes across the path of the sun and everything gets dark, then light again? Yeah, that thing. Jason brings us news about how ACB Radio will make it special for you!

We're back!!! This week the Main Menu team takes a road trip, or at least helps you do so with this presentation from the 2017 ACB Conference and Convention. "Uber and Lyft meet Self Driving Cars" takes a look at some of the technology out there, present and future, to help us get around. No, we don't have flying cars just yet, but stay tuned to Main Menu as we bring you more from the summer convention throughout the month of august.

Main Menu will be taking a break for the month of July but we want to go out with a Bang! Yes, this is one of those shows you'll want to download and listen to again and again, not just because of our exceptional talent but because we've got some serious couch potato toppings! The Amazon Team comes to us with new and nifty accessibility updates to Voice view across their devices, including Fire TV! then Randy shows us the most important part of any TV, the Remote Control, for those Fire TV models. Scott Smith is back to show us another TV-related item, Alexa and Dish Network. Finally, anyone taking to the skies for convention or fun, because they can be mutually exclusive you know, will need to listen to Jenine's demo of the My TSA app. We wish everyone attending the ACB Conference and Convention safe and happy travels! We'll be back in August with much more exciting tech. .

Big news and big app smackdowns! That's this week's Main Menu. We bring you another perspective on the biggest news in assistive technology this year, the sunsetting of Window-Eyes and how to move to JAWS with the consummate expert and good friend of Main Menu, Jonathan Mosen from Freedom Scientific VFO. Jenine brings us another Big App Smackdown as she pits KNFB Reader against the newcomer, Prismo Go and its cloud-based OCR! We manage to cram an app review in there too for Prismo Go, plus a handy JAWS tip. So, don't be afraid of the future! Embrace it with Main Menu!

On this week's show, we start off with a segment in a series about which you may have forgotten. I wouldn't blame you, either. Remember Macademia? It's back and making up for lost time as Jason discusses the Finder, different ways to view your files and folders, multiple ways to select files, and more. Don't worry, it's not all work and no fun. Randy comes next with a comical, but useful tip regarding support for Amazon Echo devices. Next, Jason and Randy have a tech chat and discuss things that came across their desks over the past few weeks. Finally, Jason wraps up with a useful little Windows tip.
