I have to use StickyKeys because I can only use one hand. They work
great.

Hi!
Nope, I don't have any trouble holding keys down (my hands work just
fine) but thanks for explaining sticky keys. I've always wondered
what that was!

Hello Olivia,
The backspace key is the Delete key. It deletes backwards, hence
the Backspace.
Do you, by any chance, have trouble holding down several keys at
once? I ask because commands that require several keys to be held
down at once seem to give you trouble. If you do have this kind of
difficulty, you could try Sticky Keys. You can find this in System
Preferences under Universal Access. Just select the Keyboard pane
and all the information is there.
Cheers,
Anne

I tried it, but it didn't work for me. I have just been emptying
trash using the finder menu. Perhaps I don't have a backspace key
on the macbook?

Hello Marty,
The easiest way to empty the trash is to press Command-Option-
Shift-Backspace. You'll hear an emptying trash noise.

Hi all, I'm posting to both lists, so I hope filters don't
break, but
here's something I received last night called apple soundtrack
from a
friend who helped me set up skype on the mac, and the youtube
channel
this came from is solomania9, and here's the url for the video,
and if
you want to hear the original source as it was uploaded, just
add at
the end of the url

Now, for a question about dealing with the trash, and that is,
that
when I would try and delete the trash, using the following
steps, go to
the dock with vo-d, right arrow to the trash, and once there,
down
arrow to empty trash, and press enter, a dialog would come up,
but it,
apparently, would be hidden from me, because immediately, the
computer
would go into this busy mode, and I would lose speech with
voice over,
and I have a mac mini, so how does one empty the trash
successfully
with a mac mini? I couldn't find the okay buttons or any of the
buttons in the dialog, and I don't know if it was because of
that, when
I shut down, my mac mini didn't shut down, or maybe it was
trying to
update, not sure, but I hit the power button, and held it in,
until the
computer shut off, re-started the machine, and shut down, and
it did
the same thing, and this time, I waited, and it shut down after
about a
couple or 3 minutes, but I wonder what I did, or what was going
on to
make it do that? The person who helped me with skype helped me
with
the trash, but I wonder if the mac mini's have a problem with
the trash
folder, or is this a weakness in the mac operating system?
Thanks in
advance, a loaded question, but hope somebody can help me out.
Marty
