John, Thanks for posting this. I'm passing it along to my husband, who is very interested in Leopard. I've used the mac a bit, but just can't make myself take the total plunge. Now, if we can figure out a way to have k1000 work on the mac, then it might be a different story. I don't know enough yet about the fusion or vm software to do it.
Cait I'm *not* bossy, I just have much better ideas! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Panarese Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 4:58 PM To: General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind Subject: For new or potential blind Mac users Hi Folks, I've seen a number of new Mac VoiceOver users and some contemplating trying or switching to the Mac on the VoiceOver and Mac user lists over the last few months. This has prompted me to think about my experiences as a VoiceOver user when I first learned the Mac. Thus, with the kindness of Josh, I have written an article describing my experiences he has posted on the Lioncourt website. Note that my effort is not an attempt at a technical manual or a tutorial of any kind, but only my observations and reactions to my experience and what were important things I learned or was told that helped me along during the learning process. My hope is that it will provide encouragement to the new user and a little nudge to the potential switcher. The direct link is, http://www.lioncourt.com/memoirs-of-a-blind-switcher/ Take Care John D.
