Have any VMWare fusion users found workarounds for remapping their caps key now that Karabiner and Seal don't work on Sierra?

2016-09-24 Thread Megan Bening
Hello all, I did a stupid thing and upgraded to Sierra without properly checking to see whether *everything* worked. I guess it never occurred to me that karabiner and Seil would be the things that would break, but there ya go. Ergo, functionally my virtual machines are broken, since now I

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone happens to have a demo of the old Outspoken screen reader that worked on (I believe) System 6 and 7, as well as OS 9. Years ago, up until OSX was released, a company called Optelec (later acquired by Alva) sold Outspoken. The software was discontinued in 2003 with

Re: Boot Camp and Voiceover

2012-05-15 Thread Megan Bening
Rahul is right. You really don't need Voiceover in the Bootcamp menu. All you need to do is: 1. While holding down your options key, power on your Mac. Continuue holding down your options key for about 8 seconds after you hear the chime (this is probably a bit long, but I like to do it just to be
