Hello, Andy, I live in Northern Ireland and you can join a one to one service at your local Apple Mac Store. They charge £79 for a one year subscription and they will trouble shoot and help navigate the beast. You can bring any apple device and they will help with Voice over too. They The group in Belfast really try hard. I am sure it will be the same in England too. Best wishes, Hazel Flannigan Armagh.

Do you know of any training packs for Mac? I know freedom scientific do a set of cds for Jaws users, is there a similar thing available with Apple?

Pending that, the Apple store has one on one sessions. I have heard from blind users in the states these can be very good and the staff is usually familiar with VO. I think these classes are about $100 US. (I think thats about 60 Pounds) Finally, the Moderator is a certified Apple technician / trainer. Maybe you could work a deal there.
