Okay! I ask the following question: what are the differences between parellels an vm ware fusion and why are people liking fusion better? I have heard it said that windows can be installed without sighted assistance or maybe I have that wrong but if this is true in fusion how is it done? Does foiceover read the prompts that are on the screen? There is much that windows asks that normally is not verbalized. If it is possible to install windows without assistance using vm fusion I would love to know how this is done. Hopefully this is okay to continue this topic and if not O great list moderator (ehem,hem Keith are you there?) please chime in and ask that this be moved. I just want to get the final word on this. I have used parellels and love it but was not able to do an unassisted installation of windows. The joy of Leopard and voiceover is the system can be installed from scratch. I talked a 12 year old through an upgrade and what a satisfying thing it was. Can't do that with, um, well, what's it's name again: WindBlows?

Hi lew,Thanks for your message. Fantastic, I will go and have a look at the mainmenu archives. Also, thanks for the warning about boot camp. I hadintended to use that and I should have included that fact in my original message. I gather that this other product is not free? I am assuming it isfrom the same company that makes VMWare for Windows?

I would highly recommend that you use a product called VMWare fusion which is a mac application to allow windows and other operating systems to run as virtual machines. it is easy to deal with and is more secure than mounting on a bootcamp volume. it is safer and should anything go wrong with the volume, simply rebuild it. doing things through bootcamp is something I advise against as you could accidently destroy the main macintosh volume declaring you mac useless. so then using the restore media that came with your mac. there are tutorials to be found on main menu at ACB radio. lew On 20 Apr 2008, at 14:04, vashaun jones wrote:Read the manual!

My mac mini is an Intel based model. If you can give me some serious answers or any proper links to information where one can read up on how to achieve this, that would be much appreciated. However, if you intend to reply with sarcastic and unhelpful messages like read the manual etc, don't bother replying as I won't be bothered wasting my time reading them. Thanks in advance to those of you who are truly interested in helping.

When I buy another Mac I'll geton board because all I do is test software, so I would have allot to contribute. Great find!

I have created a blind mac users team called "Mac Voiceover." Teams are a way for a group to get together, us, as Mac users, for example, and we have a feed on people started using, and at the top of the page we have the most used/hot applications. Best of all there are widgets now that you can post on your blog or what have you so everyone can see what you are doing at the present moment on the Mac. After signing up, you will be required to download a small application which tracks what you are doing. If, for example, youare in a beta program, don't forget to shut this down before openingit, as you will share it with the world (I don't know if there is any way to control what you share). Otherwise, after you enter your username and password, simply start doing daily things and you'll see a programs list start to build up in your profile. After you sign up and get the tracker set up, be sure to join the MacVoiceover team by going to http://www.wakoopa.com/teams/ macvoiceoverand join it so we get more software than mine. Thanks, and hope to see some new members and comments on the messages part of the page. Orin orin.angi@xxxxxxxxx MSN: joshuatubbs1@xxxxxxx Skype: orin1112 Do you like mudding?
