Hi Ann, It is entirely possible that this is the case. Can you tell me how I would check this and turn it off if it is? I tried the control option shift f3 command Anders suggested and that just beeps at me. Thanks, Gabe > On Aug 4, 2017, at 5:11 AM, Anne Robertson

Hello Kevin, First of all, you have an FN key on your keyboard. It’s the middle left key in the block of 9 between the alpha-numeric keyboard and the numpad. Since this key is badly positioned for use with VO commands, you need to go into System Preferences and select Keyboard. Select the first

That's not totally true. Apple has the iPhone SE, the iPod Touch, and the newest iPad. All are under $400. The Mac Mini is around $400 exactly. Now, these aren't the best Apple products, but they are still good. Same goes for just about everything else, including Android. A $200 tablet will do
