Hi,
No, it is the "CTRL" and "OPT" keys held down in sync. Look at:

For more details.

Good evening Richie,
Thanks for the detailed response.
Stupid question, I assume that VO is the voiceover key, would that
be the function key on this macbook?
Thanks,
Everett

There is a VoiceOver Quick Start guide, should you want to use it,
and you just press the spacebar if you want to use it. Second, if
you don't want to fill out the registration forms, simply bypass
them; having said that, I personally, would recommend filling them
out so that if you need information directly from the company,
they can better serve you with answers to your questions. The
other option is to go to your Mac store and fill out the forms
there and the store will have a record of your transactions, which
they will send to Apple, anyway. Either way, it's better to be
safe than sorry. As far as installation, simply follow the
prompts you hear; it's fairly straightforward, if you are familiar
with how other screenreaders prompts you to install their
programs. You can also uninstall the operating system just as
easily, but would you really want to, once you get comfortable
with it? There is context-sensitive help throughout the operating
system, and pressing VO+cammand+f8 will bring up the VoiceOver
Quick Start guide. VO+K brings up Keyboard Practice, and this is
useful if you're not yet comfortable with your keyboard layout.
This list is a great source of information which will help you to
enjoy your Mac experience. And feel comfortable to ask questions,
if you're not sure of something. Take care. Richie Gardenhire,

Good evening,
* Disclaimer, I have never used a Mac *
I have a MacBook here that is about a year and a half old Core Duo
2.0ghz. I have the Leopard install CD and would like to completely
reload the operating system.
A few questions:
1. Is there a partition manager on the Leopard CD, or in OS X
itself?
2. Once the CD has finished running is there a way to get past
all of the registration screens without completing them?
3. Is there an Installing Leopard with Voiceover tutorial somewhere?
4. Is there a quick reference to get me started with Voiceover
and OS X? Not looking for a long guide here, just a couple of
pages to give me the basics.
I'm sure there will be many more questions to follow.
Thanks in advance,
Everett
