I'd have to agree here with Sarah's comments. the mac is very similar to windows, but it's just different enough to really screw you if not careful. It's kind a like the difference in Spanish vs. Portuguese.

Don't go looking for equivilents as they are not going to be easy to spot half the time.

that'd be the doc right? I don't see a taskbar on the mac. On Nov 27, 2011, at 5:23 PM, Sarah Alawami wrote:Oh yeah. oops? forgot about that.

For example, it will say mail running or if it just says mail it is not running at the moment and you'll need to open it if you want to work within that program. Or, if an ap is running and you don't want it to be, you'll know to close it out.tracyduffy@xxxxxxxxx2 Chronicles 20, 21B: "Give thanks to God, his faithful love endures forever."On Nov 27, 2011, at 2:19 PM, Sarah Alawami wrote:It's the doc. and I dunno if there is a way to speak the dots.

That is, the place where open files are listed so that one can close or switch to them. The materials I'm reading say that open files are marked with a "bright dot" next to their icons but VO does not describe such dots. I only heard a single such mention after waking up the system. It spoke the name of the running application. Isthere a way to make that happen as desired? Julio C.
