Hello list. This is Nektarios in Greece. I am very happy to let you all know that I am now part of the family of mac users on this list. My experience so far is great. By just following instructions, listening to a few podcasts, reading some help etc, I was able to setup my mac without sighted assistance, go online , browse,email, download and install Infovox voices and various other tasks. I have of course much to learn yet, and I have some questions as well. 1. On my macbook pro, I need to learn the battery level or if it is charging. Is there a way to do that? 2. Is it possible to read the date and time? Is it somewhere displayed on the screen? Is there a key stroke or other way to accomplish this? 3. I am trying to install skype. I downloaded the dmg file, open it and found the skype application inside. I opened this as well and from what I understand, I was able to install it successfuly. I can't find it anywhere though. It is not in my applications folder or the desktop. If I open the DMG file again and click on skype, I can run skype, but when I enter my username and password, it tells me that it can't connect to the net and to check my network settings. I did not touch anything on the network settings, and I am able to access other net resources such as browse with safari, check email, listen to the radio with itunes etc. I know the username and password are correct, because I can logon with my windows machine. Any help is very much appreciated.
