It's pretty easy to set up. Support this guy because his heart and skills
are in the right place. It will be a interesting show and I'm sure you will
walk away with a new outlook on the Mac and accessibility.

For those unaware, i host a weekly round table style program called the
Assistive Technology Show on Wednesday's between 7:00-9:00 PM, EDT.
The Assistive Technology Show is a forum for sharing resources, getting
questions answered and learning about new and exciting assistive
hardware/software/devices. On this week's program, I'd like to give
folks a chance to learn about switching to the Mac -- experiences,
frustrations and of course what it's like after having made the leap.
Given that everyone's experiences are different, I'd like to get as
many folks involved as possible. If interested, please feel free to
join me this Wednesday, between 7:00-9:00 PM, EDT. I use the Ventrilo
voice conferencing software to facilitate the show. Besides great
voice quality, Ventrilo has the advantage that both Windows and Mac
versions exist. I've got directions for downloading and configuring
the client on the Assistive Technology Show homepage and will be
recording an audio tutorial just as soon as I send this Email. For
more info, please see http://www.atmaine.com/atshow, or contact me via
Email or phone: (207) 512-2387.
If you're unable to make this week's program, but think it might be of
interest, check out the podcast available both from within the iTunes
store and on the Assistive Technology Show page mentioned above.
Below, I'm pasting the announcement for this week's show which has been
submitted to other lists.
I'm really excited about this week's program and hope to incorporate as
many experiences as possible.
Thanks,
Steve
Curious about all the hype surrounding the Mac and its built in screen
reader? Perhaps you've wondered how difficult the transition from the
Windows environment to the Mac really is. This week on the Assistive
Technology show, we present you with a round table consisting of folks
who have made the successful leap from Windows to the Mac operating
system. We'll discuss the obstacles they've faced, the concerns they've
had, the challenges they've overcome and most importantly, the way they
now feel having made the successful transition.
As is the case with every show, there will be ample time to pose
questions, voice your own concerns and gain first hand knowledge about
the exciting Mac operating system.
For those unfamiliar with the Assistive Technology Show, it's a weekly
round table style program consisting of folks wanting to learn
something new, or with resources to share. Using the Ventrilo voice
conferencing software, participants have the ability to speak directly
with one another. When? The Assistive Technology Show takes place
every Wednesday between 7:00-9:00 PM, EDT. For those unable to attend,
the show is archived and podcasted. To join this week's show, to learn
more, or to access the podcast, please visit the Assistive Technology
Show home page at:http://www.atmaine.com/atshow . Of course if you have
any questions, please feel free to email me at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or
call (207) 512-2387
I look forward to bringing you this week's edition of the Assistive
Technology Show!
Steve
