Thanks for the info. I already knew about the talk button procedure but not all the rest. I'm just glad that one can participate with a Mac. I tried this a couple of years ago and couldn't get it to work at all. And some of these kinds of conference setups that I know blind people use in Windows don't have any provision at all for Mac users so I consider this to be a big step in the right direction; I just hope somebody is continuing to develop this for the Mac. I don't know enough to do more on this myself but I'll be happy to test if needed if more work gets done on this.

And now, every day: "This I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."
