One thing us blind folks should remember is that VO was designed so that
both a blind and sighted person can work together. So that you can work
in an office with sighted people and both of you see (visualize if
blind) the same thing and follow the cursers and such. To a sighted
person it is very clear what you are doing. And VO works just the same
as if you had a sighted person running it, ie the visual interface looks
the same whether VO is on or off and follows all the apple rules so a
person familiar with the apple can readily use the VO or follow what it
is doing. The sighted person sees everything you do as graphics placed
on the screen and can hop back and forth while in VO from using the
mouse to using the keyboard or both .

David, My boss wants to learn how to use it, so I'll be working with
her. She wants to learn it so that maybe she can help me to better
understand the relationship between the operating system and
VoiceOver, from a sighted person's perspective. And since I'm not a
programmer, and she's had some programming experience, I think I could
probably learn more from her than I could imagine she would from me.
But that remains to be seen. By the way, since I have told her about
this discussion list, she was wondering if sighted Mac users were
welcome? Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.
