Facinating Andrew, and please keep your comments coming to the
list. You might give us some pointers to what you think of the
bundled voices for starters, although I know you can opt to
upgrade to better sounding voices.
Once you've got the Voice Over a bit more sorted, you might,
further down the line give us some idea of whether the speech
recognition side of things in O SX works at all with Voice Over.
If it did, or will, eventually, then that's one hell of a price
advantage over current Windows options working with screen readers.
One final question, how much noise does the Mini make? I've seen
one in a local store but there was way too much shop noise gauge
accurately how intrusive or not the box noise might be.
Looking forward to your findings.

| Hi all,
|
| I got my Mac Mini yesterday and I must say I am completely
impressed
| with the system. When I started the system, it gave me a short
| tutorial on the Voice Over package, and its keyboard shortcuts. I
| think the main thing is not go go into this with the expectation
that
| you will be hand fed the OS in a Windows fashion, as the OS is
| certainly not Windows, and has several new concepts. I am still
| floundering to a grate degree, but am able to now read/reply to
mail
| in the Exchange account, am able to read Mac online help, move
files
| around on the hard disk, and have changed a few preferences.
|
| I am still waiting to be able to connect to our network folders, (I
| am able to connect to our NAS, but cannot connect to our domain or
| our W2k3 server).
|
| One thing this Mac is the one with the CD and DVD burner installed,
| as I wanted to see how easy it is to get running. It also comes
with
| a bluetooth and wireless card installed, which I got partially
| working last night to provide wireless Internet access. This is
| quite amazing that you get all this in such a small package.
|
| Hope this information is helpful.
| Andrew.
