Thanks. I do have Skype. I am going to try a couple of different

Hi Jessica,
I haven't tried the iOS app, but I just noticed that the version of
MacGourmet they put on sale in the Mac App Store is version 3, and the iOS
app requires version 4 in order to support cloud syncing. This does not

Esther, since Mac Gourmet has been totally taken over by Mariner software they
are trying to make up for lost time. They are very responsive in relation to
accessibility issues and I have heard others say that they honor upgrades if an
older version is purchased through the app store. The iOS
A great many functions in os10 under preferences etc. are handled under

Hi April,
It seems to me that you might be pressing incorrect key combinations when
trying to use VoiceOver. Either that, or you have a physical problem with your
keyboard that is affecting the activation of the Control and/or Option keys.
There’s not really much that should have happened
That only means that you're pressing a wrong key combination. You have to
listen, learn (trial and error sometimes), and think about what you're doing.
And, stay calm and focused at the same time - the tutorial is as simple as it
gets, so if you quit that your chances for success are going to
The biggest snag with vi is realizing if you are in 'edit' or 'command'
mode. By default you are in command mode until you hit an I for Insert.
Then it works like any other editor. I've ruined many documents when I

dozen
Command-W closes the tab you are currently interacting with. If it is
the last tab then it closes the window. Never had command-W bring up
mission control. I don't use that so maybe I haven't turned on something
that is triggered by command-w, but that key combo has been around for
years on

Bravo Shawn! I completely forgot about that! If you don't have that setting,
then every keystroke that requires VO with a Function key also requires holding
