Yeah, it's funny how Apple employees are always so willing to learn about VO. None of the ones I've talked to at the store knew how VoiceOver works, and some of them thought that it wasn't really usable by an actual blind person, yet. Just as a joke, after talking to one of them, I turned on VO on an iMac 24 after he left, and opened the Microsoft website, right in the middle of the Apple store, full screen. He came back laughing and closed Safari. You guys should try this sometime... On Jun 9, 2009, at 10:43 AM, Eliza Cooper wrote:
