Hi Tony,
My name is Sarah. Welcome to the list! I am a new Mac user myself. I was given a Macbook Pro for my birthday almost tow months ago. I am signed up for the Mac classes and have attended one so far. I attend my second one this Friday. So far the first Mac class was a bit slow because the person was trying to fix my e-mail problem with G mail. Also, even though she is familiar with voice over, she is still learning a lot of it herself. So she and I will be learning as we go together. We also had difficulties setting up my Apple account. I guess their page isn't very accessible. She told me though that they were in the process of re-creating it and making it more accessible for voice over in the future. Besides those problems, I am loving my Mac so far. I know I will have some frustrations along the way, but I believe you'll love the Mac. Also everyone on this list is very friendly and helpful. So welcome and I hope you will enjoy switching over to the Mac. I still use my PC right now for e-mail. I'm hoping this Friday, when I attend my second Mac class that the genius people will be able to fix it so I can switch over to the Mac for e-mail. Sarah From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Hernandez Sent: Sunday, April 17, 2011 3:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: introduction Hi all. I'm Tony Hernandez, and I just joined today. I see from the archives that this group has been around for quite some time. I just ordered a not so new MacBook and haven't even received it yet, but I hope to hit the ground running with Voice Over. I can already see this group is full of kind people. I hope to be able to help others soon as well. Now, of course, I do have a question. Proofreading is part of my job, and although I do have a, dare I say it, Windows PC to do it with, I might switch everything to the Mac at some point in the future. I am able to use the windows screen reader to tell when something is either in all caps or in proper case. Can this be done with Voice Over? I'll probably find out the answer to this in due course as I play with the Voice Over Utility, etc., but I've been itching to know this for a long time. I might need to know about it if Objective C has any case-sensitive keywords or variable syntax, etc. Of course if it doesn't give that feedback, it's far from a deal breaker. I have no need to use my Mac for my regular job. I'm very excited to get a Mac. I've been salivating over them since Mike Arrigo demonstrated voice Over. I already have an iPod Touch. the most challenging thing so far for me regarding Apple is resisting the temptation to be the ever-criticized fan boy. Lol. Hard not to be loyal to a mainstream company that would make its own screen reader, do a wonderful job on it, and include it with its $30 operating system at no extra charge.

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14) _____ No virus found in this message.
