Hi Josh,

Your Quick Tips are very helpful, but instead of saying that  many
tips work in both Leopard and Tiger, but some only work in Leopard,
could you specifically identify where this is the case?  For example,
Control-F5 to move to the toolbar  of an application doesn't work in
Tiger, although tabbing certainly works there as well as arrowing.
I usually find that typing the first letter of the Menu I want to reach
on the toolbar is an even faster way to get to the menu, and if I want
to get to the help menu for the application, I left arrow (without holding
down the VoiceOver keys).

Also, I have a suggestion for additional content on lioncourt.com.
How about a page describing preference options, and suggested
configurations? I know there are different opinions, especially
about things like cursor tracking options, but it would be really useful
for new users to see how people set up their VoiceOver preferences
and what goes into the selection -- how stable they think things 
are (if they lose focus in an app), what applications they use,
whether they're on a laptop or a desktop (and use a mouse).

I'm thinking about things like web page browsing options, hiding
bookmark bars (or even address bars -- since you can always
easily bring this back with option-command+f when you run a
Google search), whether to turn image loading off, etc.

Then there's the discussion of different mail preference settings like
whether you want to hide the preview window.

I was thinking about this, especially since some of the problems
I've heard from Jed and others seem to stem from never having
set up their options, even these many weeks after they've started
using their Macs.  Even reading the manual, it's not always 
immediately obvious what the benefits are of doing things certain
ways.  That's what I most enjoy finding out about on the list from
the experiences of other users.

Sorry to highjack your nice Quick Tip post with these comments!

Cheers,

Esther
