Hi. Could somebody please tell me how to find the Mac accessible version please? When I upgraded to Lion the old version for Mac wouldn't work for me at all which might have been my fault or it might have been the simple fact I upgraded the operating system. I simply couldn't get any version of version 1 or 2 to work and I should point out I use zoom much more than I use voice over although I'm very familiar with voice over keystrokes. I love audacity but stopped using it in favour of another audio program I had better not mention here because this is an audacity list after all. Any help with finding the mac accessible version will be appreciated so thanks in advance. On 22/05/2012, John W. Hess <wysiwygtechnologies@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> Good evening David.
