HI Julie, I think the equivalent of my computer would be the finder window on the dock. It has all the drives and devices on it. Or you can use spotlight to search for things that way as well. I listened to several podcasts on the Mac by Mike Arrigo, and then on the Australian Mac podcast. I think they are called Vision Australia. I hope that helps.
