Richard Turner's Home Page

Last updated August 12, 2025

Welcome to my web site. The primary purpose of this site is to offer some help to other blind or visually impaired people. There are a few things of interest to others, I hope.

Page layout

Since my web site has become quite busy with lots of topics, and an extremely long main page, I have decided to break it down into pages of specific areas. For example, most everything to do with Apple related products is on the Apple page. There is a page for Braille related information, and others. The links below will take you to those specific pages that may still have other pages connected to them, but it will make getting an overview of the web site much easier.

In case you are wondering why I have 42 in the name of my web site. It isn't that there were 41 turner.coms ahead of me. My favorite number is 42, thanks to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I have a small sound sample from the BBC Radiophonic Workshop production, which preceeded the novels. The radio series first episode aired on March 8, 1978. answer.mp3

"The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has this to say on the subject of flying.
There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
--Douglas Adams, from Life, The Universe and Everything, p.59

Demos and Walk-throughs

I moved several items to a new page, Demos and Walk-throughs as I hope to do more of them. I moved the Airpods Max and Voice Dream Walk-through plus an audio demo of WALTR Pro with Jaws to that page, as well as others. It is here:

Orbit Research Information

I've combined information for purchasing the various products from Orbit Research, downloading firmware updates, and the zoom meetings into a separate page which you can access at this link:
