In the finder, you delet files with command-backspace. If you reinstall the os, windows will be fine.
What is superior depends on what you want to do. There is an accessible spreadsheet called tables which goes a long way toward providing a vo friendly spreadsheet environment which is currently lacking. What is generic to the os will depend on they system you have but of the ones that are truly generic, I would say that there are none better. safari is superior to any browser I have used on the Mac. Mail is awesom and text edit unless you want to get really fancy is the berries. ITunes does it all and most of it well. What it doesn't do well, it does not do. You may want to joint eh macvoiceover list on freelists to get some more specific vo feedback and check the archives for both lists. There are a couple of informative podcasts on blindcooltech and you will benefit from listening to the podcasts at: http://www.screenlessswitchers.com as well as embibing in the info found at: http://www.lioncourt.com Welcome to the Mac and VO and enjoy your journey. Please let us know how you get on and if we can help, we will. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hayden Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OSX by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 09, 2008 5:34 AM Subject: miscellaneous queries Hi there folks, I've got a big bunch of queries - as a novis mac user transiting from win32 - which I need to clear up: 1. I notice that in my edit menu there is no "delete" function, neitehr is there one in the file menu or anywhere else I'm looking. So, how does one delete files? 2. I notice that the "cut" function appears to be constantly greyed out. Why might this be? 3. If I reinstall my mac partition, will my windows partition installed via bootcamp be removed as well? 4. Are there any essential applications which do not come along with mac which would be useful to have which either have superior functions to the generic applications or make voiceovering a little easier? Cheers, Hayden
