Hi Donna and Mike, Yeah I wonder this myself,
Like anything the more you do it the better you get at it. Except may be riding a bike, I'm just perfect at that now days without trying! -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Donna Goodin Sent: Friday, 30 December 2016 6:31 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: command for turning on VO on the new Macs? Hi Mike, I wonder if that would change with practice? This is just speculation, and as you say its largely a question of personal preference. But I'm thinking about when we all got our first iPhones. Initially, the touch interface was slower. But for most of us that changed as we became more proficient with the interface, and now the thought of reverting to a phone with a keyboard seems like it would be slower to me. Just a thought.
