Hi.

Could somebody please tell me how to find the Mac accessible version please?

When I upgraded to Lion the old version for Mac wouldn't work for me
at all which might have been my fault or it might have been the simple
fact I upgraded the operating system.

I simply couldn't get any version of version 1 or 2 to work and I
should point out I use zoom much more than I use voice over although
I'm very familiar with voice over keystrokes.

I love audacity but stopped using it in favour of another audio
program I had better not mention here because this is an audacity list
after all.

Any help with finding the mac accessible version will be appreciated
so thanks in advance.
