This is what I can do with my MacBook so far. I knew how to interact in an
awful hurry, because Apple got me into a hole that I couldn't get myself out of
for a week. Thankfully, someone kind came along and help me set my MacBook all
the way back to factory reset. After that, I was able to sign in with my Apple
Capital I capital D. I can turn the machine on/off, I can get around a little
bit on safari, I know how to do the trackpad commander some.
I've been practicing my keyboarding skills with BO than the K. Speaking of
which, I'm using my modifier keys. I think I'd be a lot further than that after
six months.
I also know how to do what you need to do to turn voiceover on/off. My machine
is doing a couple quirky things that's hard to explain as I dictate. I have to
show somebody.
Thank you for any help and support you may give me.
I went through a whole lot of trouble to get this MacBook Air. Not to mention
all the guilt trip everybody was trying to lay on me before I even purchased
this machine. By the way, those were people that had three computers city now
with Johns on them.
They were telling me how expensive a MacBook was, and that I shouldn't have it
because I'm on Medicaid. If they want it, at this point I'm about ready to give
it to them. I don't know anymore. Sorry about the typos.😬

And here’s the table of contesnts for a slightly newer version of Mac OSX,
Mountain Lion. I’m not remembering a lot of significant changes from Mountain
Lion to now, so it should be a little more helpful.

I'm about in the same boat. Where do you interact at? There's groups,
tables, sales, good grief! Sometimes I wonder, am I really ever going to
love this computer?
I took a class back in the summer, and of course I failed it. The teacher
yelled at me in front of the whole class. The class, such that it was was
over one of the conference lines.
Of course I got the riot act read to me, what else is new? I Telya, this is
been the most miserable six months I've ever been through. I have
fibromyalgia and other medical problems to deal with, I guess this MacBook
is going to be another medical problem as well.
Please please please, don't get me wrong I don't regret buying this machine.
It's just, I learned the iPhone so amazingly fast. As a matter fact, just
four short months after I bought it, I started doing my own iPhone classes
on these blind chat lines.
When I'm in to mentor and programs. One for a five-year-old organization and
Texas, and the other for the Independent living Center here in St. Louis.
I don't know anymore.😢

Sent from my iPhone hello, someone recommended that I join this list. I've
had a MacBook Air 11.6 inch for almost 6 months.
I come from strictly a capital I capital oh capital S background, I have
never used any other computers from the century anyway ha ha. So, this is
a whole new ballgame for me.
I am completely blind now from retinitis pigmentosa. I am a very strong
proponent for Apple products, and what they can do for people with various
disabilities.
I started out with an iPhone four – S, and now I have an I phone six. I
also have an AppleTV fourth-generation.
I am struggling quite a lot with learning my new MacBook. I knew it was
going to be a learning curve, but I had no idea it was going to be like
this.
Thank you so much for starting this list. I love tutoring the new and
struggling users of capital I capital oh capital S products, and when I
get my Macintosh skills more up to par I would like to do the same for the
new MacBook owners as well.>
