I beg your pardon; There is a lot to be trained on if one wishes to learn that way, the apple stores are full of that kind of thing although they don't necessarily train in vo. I do training though and though my business is not brisk it is mostly because I am in an nfb state.

I don't think there are any trainers for Mac like the trainers you can get to Windows. Don't know why. Maybe because Mac is so easy to use? I have only had my Macbook for a month now, and I understand your needs for a trainer. I also felt I need a trainer before I got my Mac, but I got a lot of help from some great friends and from this awesome list, so now, I don't need any trainers or manuals. If you have any questions or if you want to hear a little demonstration how Mac works, you can contact me on MSN.
