You know what was so funny to me is I have been using the Mac since 2005 and quite honestly there was a learning curve, but it took me considerably less time to get up to speed on the Mac than it did for me to master Windows and Window-Eyes. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact

Ah, ok, thanks for confirming this. I was wondering about this and just had not gotten around to asking. Please send a note to accessibil...@apple.com as well, so they are aware of the issue. More folks that let them know of the problem, the more likely it will get fixed sooner perhaps.
