Thanks for all the help. I am up an running now. The Mac is so much quieter than my old rattling PC it may even cause my wife to forgive how much I have spent on it. Some things are ridiculously easy. Getting online was a breeze compared to the blood sweat and tears I have had to exert on PCs over the years. There is still obviously a learning curve. A few initial queries. My I-Mac shipped with Daniel as the default voice. I think I would prefer Alex, at least for typing echo. I have gone into voice properties by pressing VO command and right arrow but I cannot change from Daniel in these properties. Any comments? I cannot get into voiceover utility so it looks like I need to change the function key setting in system preferences but I am getting a little lost in these at the moment. I am trying to dig up a podcast where I am sure that this is described in system preferences. The final oddity at the moment is that there are 2 F5 keys on my keyboard. Does anybody know why this would be the case? Thanks again for the help.

Maybe 3 inches from the bottom left corner you should find a round button almost flush with the back of the device. The button is concave. This is the power button. Hope that helps.
