Hi Teresa. No, it's not near as sensitive in some areas. I'm at the Apple store right now doing a backup for the first time. Say, I never would have thought of running two screen readers under Windows. I had enough trouble with one, although to be fair, I ran Jaws successfully for quite a long time. I still have it, and can run it if I need to.
VoiceOver is not as sensitive to having braille displays taken on and off without restarting the program. That's nice. I do it all the time.

I'm so glad OS X is not so fragile. > > Teresa > On Oct 8, 2011, at 6:13 AM, Eugenia Firth wrote: > >> Hi Guys. >> I managed to crash Lion last night, and I'd like to tell you guys how I did >> it because it's something a lot of VoiceOver users might be tempted to do. >> However, you don't want to do what I did last evening. >> >> I was in Numbers.
