Sonya: There is a way to view the items at the top of the screen using voiceover. If you press vo-keys and m, you find the regular memus. Press the same combination twice, and you get the status menu. It works very well. As far as having date and time spoken, you can do this from Voiceover utilities. I just asked this a couple weeks ago, and I'll attempt to explain how to do this. Press vo-f8 to open vo utilities. The MBP will let you know that there are categories, and you will be focused on general. Tab until you come to "enable Voiceover to be controleld by Apple Scripts. Make sure this checkbox is checked. Next, tab to General (where you started). Arrow down to commanders and tab once. You'll hear "trackpad comander". Press V o-right arrow twice to reach keyboard commander. Vo-space to select it. Now , vo-right arrow once to "enable keyboard commander." Vo-space to check that box. Vo-Right arrow until you hear "right option key." Vo-space to select this, then vo-right arrow to the keyboard commander stable. Vo-shift-downarrow to interact with the table, down arrow to T, (for time and date). It will say something like run apple script script." I believe you should now hear date and time spoken when you press right option key and the letter T. , now Vo-right arrow, atwoice, nd you have "use," press Vo-right arrow twice, which puts you on keyboard commander. Hope I haven't confused you too much. I'm sure someone here will correct this if I've missed something. Good luck, and let us know how it goes. Congrats on the MBP, I know you'll love it, as I've learned to.:) Take care
