Travis, have you heard of any typing tutorials that will work on the mac and
are self voicing so that a blind user could use one? Thanks.

Subject: Re: using amazon.com with safari
And now you know why *I.REFUSE.TO.USE.AMAZON!!
That siet is such a pain to navigate. Once I had a link to the exact
page to the item I wanted to buy, and it still took me half an hour to
find the damned thing, because of having to wade through all the crap
amazon has on their pages. So, navagition problems are not limited to
safari. Though, I too have experienced the problems you mention with
amazon as well, which for me is simply another reason *not* to use their
site. There's always others who have the products for similar pricing,
and I've never found anything amazon has that I couldn't find elsewhere,
so it's not been the least bit of a problem for me. The only reason I
even attempt to use them, is when I do a book search, and they often come
up because they have the isbn numbers of all the books. Although, I've
found isbn.org is just as good for that kind of info, so once again,
amazon is proved useless for me.
Sorry about the rant, but this is something that has irritated me about
amazon for years, and as time goes on, it only gets worse.

Hi guys. Yesterday I was using safari and amazon.com to try and buy
something. I found it to be really slow though. I have the group items
on webpage turned on and it seems to work great for other sites but not
for amazon. I found if I turned that featre off in vo, the page would
be fast again, but then I got stuck in a particular area of the page
and it wouldn't navigate anywhere else on the page.
Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just a question of
inexperience.
Oh I should also say that this didn't seem to happen until I found what
I was looking for and clicked on its actual product page. I'm wondering
if its just too much information for Voice over.
thanks for any suggestions.
Holly
