Hello. All I did to install Snow Leopard is: 1. With Leopard running, put the Snow Leopard DVD in. 2. Run the application on the DVD that was called Install Mac OS 10 or something like that. 3. After the install was finished, the computer restarted. I didn't lose any of my applications,

Hello. You usually can open the VoiceOver utility by hitting control +option+f8. You may have to add the FN key, so in that case it would be fn+control+option+f8. You can also change some speach settings on the fly by holding down the control+option+command with the arrows. For

I would like to add that in SnowLeopard, if you turn Quick Nav on, you don't have to hold down the control and option keys to navigate web pages. What I mean is that instead of holding down the control and option keys with the arrow keys, you can just use the left and right arrow keys by

I think that if you don't like using scripts with screen readers, then don't use them. It's silly to ask Apple to take out a feature of VoiceOver that some people might want. If the mac gets more popular, some blind people might have to use an application for a job. If that
