http://www.apple.com/accessibility is a good place to start, there are
a few other good sites such as http://www.lioncourt.com, and http://www.screenlessswitchers.com
(I hope I got the url correct and it's a podcast), and there's loads
of other resources available. Others will be able to provide more
info, but if you go into an Apple store, you might like to try control
plus, option plus, command plus, f8 to bring up a VoiceOver quickstart
tutorial which is very helpful.
Good luck,

Hi,
For a while now I've been contemplating buying a Mac and expanding
my knowledge of computing.
When I first got involved with computers seriously it was with
Windows98 and at that time having bought the pc and Jaws I used the
FS Jaws training cassettes to get me up and running and from there
kind of picked most things up as I went along.
As I'm now at the point of wanting to buy my first Macbook and never
having used one, is there somewhere I can find any documentation
similar to those old FS cassettes that will give me a grounding in
the operating system and Voice Over and how they work together?
I did walk in to an Apple store here in Manchester u.k and try
surfing the net thinking I'd pick it up especially on a site I knew
well.
It was like the men from mars had landed and taken over my computer
experience.
Not to be daunted or put off, I joined this group as I thought one
of you might have some ideas or advice to help me get up and running
without me losing any more of my hair through frustration.
Many thanks in advance of any anticipated help that might come my way.
Kind regards
Graham
