Hi Russell, there is no key stroke to make the time announce, but, you
can go to the status menu which is control f8, and in the clock menu,
if you arrow down, it will announce the time, but there is no specific
key stroke to announce the time.  Regarding the clock, I have bells
announcing the time every fifteen minutes, so you could have one of the
novelty voices like baa, or boing announce the time.

Hi everyone,

Every day I am finding more reasons to love my Mac!

Last night I found out that you can set the clock to announce the time 

at given intervals.  I set mine to announce the time every 15 minutes, 

and I was able to watch the hours tick away as I tried to set up my  
scanner! <grin>

Then, this morning as I was reading the VO getting started PDF file, I 

found out that as I'm reading the document, if I press the CTRL key to 

stop reading, and go and get another cup of coffee, when I come back,  
all  I need to do is press the CTRL key again, and VO starts reading  
right where it left off, within a word or two!  Absolutely amazing!   
And VO is reading this PDF a lot better than Jaws did in Acrobat!

One thing I haven't come across yet, is there a keystroke to have the  
time announced?

Thanks all,

Russell
