Hi Jessica,
Welcome to the list. BTW, one thing to try at the outset when you're first
learning the Mac OS and VoiceOVer is to use the VoiceOver cursor to
constatnly read toward the right, that is, Control-Option-right arrow. This
will ensure that voiceOver encounters all items on a page. When you become
more familiar with the elements on a particular dialog box, window or page,
you can sometimes use the down command instead, to jump to other areas that
are being displayed. Further, you can use Control-Option-i to bring up the
item chooser menu and arrow down a list of all the items that VoiceOver sees
to quickly navigate.
HTH,
Jerry

Hi everyone, thanks for the welcome.
I hope this is how to reply to messages. There was some confusion as to
weather or not replying went to the sender or to the list as a whole.
As far as my problem with firmware. It was certainly a fault in the
product. They took it back today and I got a new g5 instead. That one was
the mini mac, but i didn't want to wait for them to come back in stock.
It's nice to pretend I'm rich sometimes. lol
Well, my first day was really confusing, and I'm back on windows because
Ii'm tired. I think my only struggle really, is going to be learning to
search all over the page for things.
I filled in a registration form and missed everything in the right colum.
ACK!
I've got the voice over manual and I am hoping there are shorter ways to
do things. I will try not to keep resorting back to windows as I know it
is just going to drag things out if I do, but I'm sooo very slow right
now.
Brings back fond memories of my first day with a windows pc.
Thanking god it's not win98,
Jessica

Well Jesica.
Welcome to mac, and hang in there, it gets easier. Keep using it, and
you'll be a convert in no time.

Greetings, I am a long time windows user. Due to the newest version of
tiger, I thought I'd give mac a go.
I'm lost and already having issues with firmware i think. So for now
I'll just say a quick hello until things become a bit more clear.
I must admit I'm really excited though. I always wanted to have another
option besides windows.
Cheers,
Jessica
