I'd love to contribute a message to this forum, but it isn't letting me register for some reason. Basically, if they could make it behave similar to Gmud, that would be great. I try to limit data from the muds I play as much as possible; am not on many chat channels, and use brief for room descriptions. I have it set to play a sound when I receive tells, and just hold down the control key to mute speech during battles. Anyway, I plan to try Atlantis out as soon as possible; am curious how well it can meet my mudding neads.

The developer of Atlantis is looking into making it more accessible still, and adding automatic speech to it. There is a post on their suggestion forum I linked to a few days earlier about this. I think it would help if more people from this list contributed their thoughts, as it really is a good client and could be made even better with just a bit of tweaking. The link is http://www.riverdark.net/board/index.php?showtopic=846&view=getnewpost I encourage anyone on this list who might be interested in mudding on the Mac to please give it a look see and share your thoughts. If nothing else it might help convince the developer that a community is out there. Best, Zack.

It is free though, so give it a shot. Admittedly, the window doesn't automatically read, but big deal, if you vo+left arrow from your text area once, then vo+end, or if a macbook, fn+vo+right arrow, you'll get to the most recent thing. Then interact, and you can up and down arrow without the vo keys and see what has scrolled across the screen. Then when done, stop interacting, vo+right one time, and boom, you're back in your text area to type. It's somewhat a pain in the kneck, but, saying it's not accessible just because of that isn't really fair in my opinion. It's it a pain? yes. but that doesn't make it inaccessible as much as it just makes it really a little tedious. It is, however, extremely doable. > > Chris. > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Missy Hoppe" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, July 11, 2011 11:52 AM > Subject: RE: using a mac full time? > > >> I'm not sure I'd ever switch to using my macbook full time.
