Hey there Brian. Your name sounds really familiar. I think I

Hey, I think that he sounds kinda familiar too for some reason. Can't
figure where I know him from, though. Maybe a subway or something. But
anyway, he writes:
Greetings. There are a few of us Canadians on here. I have to say
I really like my mac and the screen reader is not at all difficult
to use. It takes some work to forget some of the windows concepts
which try creaping in when learning but once one gets used to the
interface, it is quite nice. I still don't find navigating web
pages with the mac as easy as windows. I find myself missing the
keys for headings, tables form fields etc. According to a podcast
I listened to, there are such keys with vo but I can't find them in
the vo help.
Oh, they're there, all right. Check the VO keys list. Many of them are
ctrl/option/cmd something, and there are a helluva lot of them, many
of which I don't actually use. option/tab is very useful, as it moves
you to the next control on a web page, for instance. Also ctrl-option-
cmd-h will move you to the next header, with shift moves to the
previous one. Cmd-option-shift-u will tell you the destination of a
link (usually). Those are the ones I use most often, but there are a
whole pile more.
Anyway, most of us are willing to help with this stuff when you are
learning. Buddy put up with a lot of questions from me when i was
getting started.
And believe me, he's a helluva guy to have to put up with. :-)
