Hello Jamal, and list. Well, actually hello again! lol! I just resubscribed last evening after having a devil of a time locating the new list locale!


Anyway, I've switched over to Mac, and love love love it! I'd really be interested in any more info you might have on the demo next week?…

  Would be very interested in stopping by and checking it out.  :)

  anyway, do feel free to write me off list if you'd like.

  to everyone else, hi again, and hope yer' all doing wonderfully!…

Have an awesome evening!…

Smiles,

Cara  :)

I am moderating an event called Dueling Operating Systems at the CSUN
conference next week.  Three users of an operating system and screen
reader
combination will compete for a couple hours:  Windows with JAWS, the
Mac with VoiceOver, and Gnome/Unix with Orca.

We agreed to develop a long list of possible tasks that would each take
from about 3 to 5 minutes using software that comes with the operating
system, except for JAWS and Microsoft Office. Either I or others I enlist
would pick a selection of tasks from the list at the actual event.
Each task should be described in a general enough way so that someone can choose the application and screen reader techniques that achieve the same
result.

If anyone has suggestions about possible tasks to include on the list, I
welcome such input.
