Wow even hot chocolate, thanks so much! lol
Wow, it even has whipped cream on it...mmmmm
Seriously 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. lol
Yeah, I'm one of those nut cases. big smile and lol
I 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.

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
