Hi all, Alfredo's post and the thoughtful responses to it have prompted me to ask whether there is a web site, blog, or set of tutorials for switchers.
I've had my MacBook Pro for a whole week now. In many ways, it's easier than I expected, but I'm definitely having to learn everything all over again--not easy for someone who spends five to ten hours a day on the computer. My biggest problem has been finding a clear overview of the Mac environment, some general principals about VO, and comparisons between those two items and Windows. the VO tutorial and the Getting Started document have been very helpful, but I keep feeling I need more. for me personally, things will probably go a little faster once I move my PC out, but I'm still feeling so inept at the Mac that I'm not quite ready to do that yet. Is there anything specifically for switchers who use Voiceover? The general Mac site does have material for switchers, but it doesn't take VO users into account. For example, it talks about the dock being similar to the taskbar, but I had to go somewhere else to figure out how to get to the dock with VO. Even the general Mac page that describes how to turn Voiceover on and make adjustments to it did so using a long involved process that included no VO commands. I really agree with the person who said that this list has been invaluable but that it sometimes feels overwhelming because, while I learn how to do a specific thing, I don't always feel like I understand how something actually works. Thanks for all your help, and please post if you know of anything that might help us new folks make the transition.
