Howdy folks!
Thanks for the info...
As it turns out, we were able to go down to our Mac/Apple store this
afternoon and I am now on my MacBook.
The sales person explained all the speks and they matched what Larry
and I saw online for the "new" MacBooks.
At first I was having trouble getting VO to work. For example it
didn't start up straight away but that could be because we hit a key
by error. But it was alright because my oldest helped set it up. Now
everything seems to be up and running just fine! And I am starting to
get used to the VO way of doing things. I had some trouble with this
at first because I couldn't get anything to read... Then it dawned on
me... Duh! You go from side to side, using the left and right arrows
to read and get around, not the up and down arrows. I wasn't mad or
anything but once I sorted it out I felt kinda dumb because I was
still stuck in Windows mode... One thing I told myself I would not
do. Kind of like I told myself I'd not compare my first guide dog
Gerard to Fleming, my current dog when in training. Eventhough I told
myself not to compare all the way to GDB, what did I do almost
straight away? I compaired! But that, like this getting used to the
Mac has and will work out in the end!

Howdy all,
We are going to the Apple store in KCMO to get my MacBook. We were
going to
go to our local Best Buy store, but on the advice of several of you
on list
as well as my really good pet Geek friend, we are going to take the
extra
drive to get the Mac right from Apple in person.
Larry had told me that stores, he works at a major discount store,
will buy
a quanity of one thing and have to sale all of it before they can
sale the
next offering of that item. For example say they get a shipment of
xyz
computer and they get 2000 of them. But lets say before they can
sale all
of xyz computers, xyz xtra awsome edition comes out and has a bunch
of
upgrades and new things the old and still in stock xyz computer
doesn't
have. He said they'd HAVE to use up all the old stock before
offering the
new...
Is the case with the Apple store? When we go in will we be getting
the
latest MacBook, or an older one? I guess it wouldn't matter *THAT*
much. I
know they upgraded the MacBook line the end of Febuary and I'd like
to have
as new a MacBook as they can give me. I was just wondering though
if going
to even the Apple store would give you the latest or the day-old-
bread stock
of computers...
Thanks
Jenny
