Hi, Donna! I'm not sure if the link has changed, but I do know from posts here that you will definitely be able to get sl when it comes out. And, you'll be able to purchas it for $9.99 which is a deep discount from the $29. the rest of us will have to spend, though even that is a phenomenal price to pay for an upgrade. Hope this helps!

P.S. I vote for the macbook, either white or aluminum!

I’m looking at the Iphone 3gs, so this seemed like a good time to switch my computer over as well. I have a couple of questions.
First, I followed the instructions in the message below, but the site seems to have changed. Where do I need to go to download the newest Getting Started manual?
Second, if I purchase my Mac this summer, will I be eligible for the Snow-Leopard upgrade due out in September?
Thanks in advance for all your help. It’s good to be back on the list, and I’m looking forward to new adventures with a Mac!

You need to go to http://www.apple.com/accessibility Click on seeing.Then go down to the voice over getting started manual. They have it either in pdf format, or in mp3 format. Not trying to steer myself away from helping you. It's just if you do not know the fundimentals like what the vo keys are even, it's gonna be very difficult trying to explains things. To interact with an item, asswuming it is a type item that you can interact with like a table, a list, an outline, etc. you need to do vo+shift+down arrow to interact, then vo shift up arrow to stop interacting. remember by vo, also known as vo keys, you hold down control and option.

Then do vo+space, or in other words control+option+space to select an item.

Hello all, This is Donna Goodin, I was on the list a few weeks back.I had a chance to go into an Apple store on Friday, and played around a bit with a Mac. One thing I noticed was that the arrow keys don’t seem to do anything, i.e. you can’t use them to navigate around the screen. Is this normal? If yes, how do you navigate the screen? Using Tab kind of worked, but it didn’t seem to get you everywhere on the screen. I did play around a bit with trying to use the mouse pad, it was OK, but not very precise. If the arrow keys are supposed to work, what should I have done to enable them?
