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.
