Hey there Brian. Your name sounds really familiar. I think I probably know you from another tech-related list or maybe even tech support or something?

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.

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.

Brian.

Hi there. Thanks for the welcome!
Ok, here goes the intro.
My name is Sara and I live somewhere in Canada. I am 27 years old and I like to consider myself a computer geek but then I meet people who know a lot more than I do so I realize that I don't know that much. I joined this mailing list because I wanted to learn about macs. I saw a mac at the university bookstore and thought it was cool. It even gave me speech when I pressed command f5 which was the only command anything I knew. lol It talked, but nobody at the store knew how to use the screen-reader so I got frustrated and decided it didn't really work...but then I found this list and www.icanworkthisthing.com and realized that I had been pressing just about every key to get it to read except! the V O keys. lol My email address has "649" in it because when I found this list, I felt like I had won the lottery lol. I am going to a different store where I hope the sales people will be more knowledgeable. I am going to look at macs and try some more stuff now that I know some commands. I'll report tomorrow on how it goes. I think I'd better braille out some basic commands to try or I'll end up forgetting them all lol.
You people rock, thanks for being so patient with me, a total newbie.
Sara
