[mac4theblind] Re: Am I the only VO user who doesn't get VO announcing at the login screen?

Hi there 

You should keep in mind that when you hear the chime, your computer is not even 
close to being started up. It just sounds off when it is showing bios, then you 
have to wait for the system to load itself, which might take more or less time 
depending on how many apps it is starting. If you have it set to preserve 
things the way they were when you shut it off, if you left a bunch of stuff 
opened, it has to go bacck and re-open it. 

In a nutshell, your computer has a lot going on when it starts up, which could 
explain why voiceover doesn't start up so quikcly. I usually never turn my 
macbook off, unless perhaps i haven't done so in a month, or if I won't get to 
a plug for a while and the battery is critically low. 

Regards
Justin
