Hi,
A bit late on this I know but am slowly catching up with emails.
I'm very interested in exploring the world of widgets however when I press VO
and f2 twice I hear VO tell me it's changing the display brightness, am I doing
something wrong, how else can I get to the window chooser to get the widget
taskbar?
Many thanks,
Phil
