Wow even hot chocolate, thanks so much! lol Wow, it even has whipped cream on it...mmmmmSeriously I can't wait to get my hands on a mac. I don't know when I'll have the money to buy one as I just bought a laptop and have to wait before I can buy more toys oops I mean necessary equipment for entertainment oops I mean serious university-related equipment. lolYeah, I'm one of those nut cases. big smile and lolI have far too many computers. My mother is not happy that I am considering buying another one. I don't think she's ever seen a mac though, I hear they look cool too. She's sighted, so maybe the Mac will look good on my desk and convince her to like computers. One thing I already love without even having used a mac is that it will talk right away and I won't need sighted help to use it. With my other computers, I needed sighted help to get through the setup screens. What macs do you people have? iMacs? minis? pros? laptops? I can't decide on an iMac or a mac mini so that is why I am asking. I already have two laptops so I don't think I'll get a laptop lol.Sara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lewis Brock" <lewisjbrock@xxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 10:24 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Hello new list members!hey sarah. welcome to this list.we are a cooking pot of years of experience and some even months or days with the mac environment. you'll come to learn so much from using the mac such as best practices with voiceover, apps available, any other info that is shared on list. we have several resident nut cases and techs etc. all of us are decent folk willing to helpif you want any help then we're here to help. if you fancy contacting me directly lol my details are as follows e-mail: lewisjbrock@xxxxxxx skype: that is lol if youve got skype? lol lewisjbrockavailable most of the time lol and can advise on different areas, technical queries and more. also a service tech for the UK north wales district lolhave fun, take care and if you fancy refreshments. there's chocolate, biscuits, tea, coffee and anything else that seems to be around lol.

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.
