Will,
There will be a lot that isn't covered untill someone gets around to
covering it in depth. If I know apple, they've put some really good
stuff into this release and anyone who relies on the os will want to
get those improvements. On the + side, you will be able to buy
Leopard right up to the next os release so waiting will only rob you
of what you would have wanted earlier had you only known. Unlike
Windows, unless upgrading breaks something, apple's os upgrades are
well worth having.

hi all
i will be interested to see what you all think of leopard but the
feature list doesn't appeal to me, each to his own. for net access i
got fusion which i paid for so i am going to stick with that, and i'll
catch up on the next OS release whenever that may be but i will still
follow comments. the features though that i've read don't seem that
expanded visual doc and desktop, stacks, japanese dictionaries where's
the european stuff? ya know, it just doesn't seem much better to me
than tiger, what i have now is a perfectly cool operating system so i
can wait i'm in no rush like the rest of you, smile. i will be using a
braillenote more than a mac anyways as i need it for languages so i
won't be using the new OS to its' full potential

I don't know they were following up with related blind stuff, so I
took it as being accessibile. Maybe were are hoping right. Also Leo
is a very good tech guy. He is about the only one that has a copy of
Lepard along withh Walt Mossburg. Now if you don't know who Walt is,
then you really need to catch up (smile). Check out the pod-cast I
am sure you will like him.

Hi,
I got the idea that the software has been made more accessible, not
necessarily that it is completely VoiceOver compatible.
If I'm wrong about this and the bundled stuff is truly accessible,
then this is one time I don't mind being wrong.

OH yeah, I read that too. There are allot of features but I don't
know if they all will be accessible though they say that the
software that comes pre-bundled with the new release has been
optimized for VO, did you get that?

Hello,
Also, drag and drop has been added for VoiceOver.

I sat down a read every single feature in the new OS and I must
say it is impressive. They have given accessibility allot of
thoughtt. Like I said I love two features one being the
internet changes and the other being the grammar checker. Looks
like we will be in for a nice package.

voice over users don't learn much other than yes braille is
supported, but we don't know what how, when why etcetera, but
