Thanks Anne! I am totally blind my self too, maybe this is why I did not see much of a change when I installed visiovoice. I am thinking I will have to be courageous and up grade to lion here very soon. But, I'll see if my awesome mother let me test drive lion on her mac before I bring it on mine. If things go crazy on my computer during thesis, it would be horrible! But if lion behaves well, it might actually be a blessing, and things might run even better and somewhat more organized. Thanks! :) Rachel
