actually, the more I use the mac, the more the lines of distinction between the

I know that there is the temptation when one comes over from Windows to look
for Windows equivalents or similarities. Conceptually, you will find certain
things that fit this mindset. However, from experience and from having trained
several people over the years, do yourself a big favor now and try to approach
the Mac and VoiceOver as a completely different animal than Windows. If you
constantly think in Windows terms, trust me when I tell you that you will find
frustration and annoyance a lot more often than is necessary. You must throw
your Windows thinking out the window and just learn the Mac and become accustom
to the Mac and VoiceOver way of doing things.
