Now would be a real bad time to go in to moderation, but, if that is what it takes we will do it.

I don't know what the market share in the blind community of windows users is but I can say that it is high, so to see an article that isn't that favorable to Voiceover isn't surprising. I don't think that the NFB is "trashing voiceover", I think it was just an article by someone who uses windows most of the time and just like someone who never used a Windows screenreader before but had only used Voiceover, when having to write an article, their opinions of the screenreaders were schewed. You guys are much to sensitive.On Jun 10, 2009, at 1:51 PM, Marty Rimpau wrote:Hi all, it is obvious that the person who wrote the article hadn't explored the menus of mail, and wasn't aware of the items that could be checked in the view menu, but they kept insisting on using windows standards for everything, when mac and windows aren't the same thing, though I will say, I do wish there were a mode of the voice over tutorial for people coming from windows, so that the windows user would immediately be aware of the diferences, and put aside some of those concepts.--Original Message Text--- From: David Poehlman Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2009 08:10:43 -0400 Begin forwarded message: From: Anne Robertson <conseil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: June 10, 2009 3:50:14 AM EDT To: Snow Leopard <seedvosnowleopard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: And a beta tester wrote this Hello everyone,I just read this article and noticed that it was written by someone on this list.
