I had a chance to spend some time really looking at a Mac yesterday and feel like I'm more comfortable with it. Thanks Gabe!!!
I have a few further questions though if I may. 1. I experienced some difficulty working in the Internet Browser, Safari. As you know, when you load a page you are then able to move around with the right and left arrows in combination with the control and option keys. When I moved to the html content and hit the command to interact with the HTML, I found I then had to move line by line with the arrow keys. Is there a command that works to tell the Voice Over to just read the entire page without having to enter commands. When reading a lot of text, having to hit a key for each line gets old and tough on the fingers. 2. Related to question #1, is there a command that will either allow you to skip past all links and go to the text on a web page or, is there a command to be able to skip a lot of links at once. For example, in Windows with Jaws I can be on a web page and just hit page down to get past links or to move through a page faster. Often I look at specific pages several times a day and know that if I hit page down twice I get to the text. This is kind of important to me as hitting arrow keys to move link by link really stinks. 3. I'm going to check out the Apple site but can someone briefly contrast what is different between an iMac and a Mac Mini other than the obvious things like needing a keyboard and monitor if you use a mini? How big is the normal hard disk in a Mac Mini, things like that? 4. I have backed up data on two external hard disks. These files consist of word documents, photographs belonging to my wife, music, stuff like that. I'm assuming that the drives which are PC compatible will just connect to the Mac and be readable? I'm all but ready to order up a Mac but had these few last questions! You guys have been very helpful and thanks. Check out my blog at http://lsw999.blogspot.com/ Larry Wanger
