Hi,

Good job and congratulations on entering hte vast wrelm of Mac OS X 10.5. I know what you mean, but you are better off with a router, as it is safest. I recomend the Apple Airport Extreem, and It'll save you a lot of cabling. I have two routers and lose no signal strength. Anyway, most companies in Canada anyway provide two IP addresses when you sign up. Where are you from. I am from British Columbia, Canada.

Also, Lynksis makes a router that is cheaper and does the same thing, but the configuration interface is a pain to navigate, I much prefer Apple's Airport for this reason.

Well,, I will write more as I think of it, but have a fun time exploring Mac OS X 10.5.5.

Remember, check under the rug before thinking of giving up on accessibility.

Thanks for listening,
Alex,

Hi all, I took the plunge, and got a mac mini, it is the one for $799,
but I wasn't sure if I would have speech break ups, as when I was
listening to Mike arrigo's tutorial, it would repeat words twice, like
me-messages, when returning to the row, so I had them put some more ram
in there, but when I get it, I won't know how to do some things.  I
wanted something where I could have it set up where I could have it,
where I could go on line with either computer, but not both machines at
the same time, so they wouldn't charge me extra for an ip address, and
they said something like an ethernet splitter, but they didn't have
something like that, and reccommended against it, because they were
afraid that too much of the signal might be lost, so is there a way to
do this, so I can still go on line with this computer, without
unhooking anything, as a transitioning time from windows? Also, I have
a web site, and I want to be able to edit my html in text edit, but
don't know how to do, what we know in windows, as using home and end to
go to either end of the line, and also, can I have a situation where I
can turn off punctuation in text edit, but leave it on everywhere else
like a set file would do in window-eyes, or am I thinking incorrectly.
I'd want it to say blank lines, so I would know where to start typing.
Also, for the mac, are there accessible ftp programs with voice over?
because I'll need an ftp program, or something comprable to upload to
my site. Another question, I know that pm mail has a version for os10,
and I'd want to know, can I import my address book, as well as my two
.act folders into the mail program for the mac, or, would I have to get pm mail for the mac? The only reason why I hesitate to go with pm mail is because this version has no support for ssl encription, and I'd want
that, as the mail program for the mac has this, so I have lots of
questions.  This is really scary for me, but this means the end of
migrating, and upgrading, except for the operating system. I know this is a bunch of loaded questions, but I've been so use to windows, that I
only do what I absolutely have to do on this machine, but eventually,
see the day when I won't need windows anymore, not because it is a bad
operating system, but because of the screen reader boys nickling and
diming us to death, with seemingly no appreciation for your long
standing patronage as a customer, though some of that is probably
perception anyway.  Thanks for reading this, and I hope that here a
little bit, and there a little bit, somebody can help me.

Marty
