Sorry, I should have clarifyed. The mac book I was shown had leopard installed with the latest updates. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I take it that in Leopard I must always use the function keys plus vo plus space to open programs? If not, is there a way to allow me to just use the vo keys and space in leopard? This seems a little more convenient.
