Hi Keith.  It seems to me that, especially for beginners like myself, it is
sometimes hard to know if you are asking a VoiceOver question as apposed to
a general Mac question.  Take my following post for example.

 
Hi all,  Do I just have a slow computer?  On the BCT page, if I press
control option command H to go to headers, it takes about 5 seconds to get
to each header.  When I try to bring up a link list, it takes about 30
seconds.  Anyone else have this problem?  I'm guessing my Mac Mini is not
the fastest kid on the planet?  Thanks.  And thanks for the help on finding
the preferences.

Now, I have no clue if this is caused by VoiceOver, or if it is a general
Mac question.  I would certainly agree that it doesn't teach people about
using VoiceOver directly, but if there are problems regarding slow-downs
that perhaps result  when using VoiceOver, this is, I think, a question that
VoiceOver users need to know.

So, tell me where the thin line is here and I will be happy to abide.

Thanks for dealing with this issue.

Neal

Subject: [macvoiceover] IMPORTANT! FROM THE LIST ADMIN, off topic messages,
please read!

Hi folks,

Boy, I hate to write these kind of messages.

Last week we had several hundred messages come over the list and several of
them according to the list guidelines were off topic.

First of all, lets take a look at what we are trying to do with this list
and that is to learn and USE Voiceover with the MAC, so when you write your
message, ask your self, does this have anything to do with learning and
using Voiceover with the MAC? If it does not, please put the letters "OT"
for offtopic, in the subject line, so that the rest of us can choose to read
it or not.

Folks, please help me with this.  This list has become a great place to
learn about Voiceover, but, we can't learn with helpful messages intermixed
with off topic messages.

This list will soon reach 100 members and we can be a help to many if we
will just stay with in the guidelines.

Thank you so much.

Keith Reedy, list admin
