Mike,
Great to see you here, I have heard Roselle (CF) say all sorts of
great things about your ideas and skills.
I'm currently working on an outline for a long form textual document
on using Macintosh with only keyboard and will include a lot about
migrating from JAWS, WE, SA, orca and other screen access tools that
do things differently. The learning curve, without the existence of
such a document, is less steep if you come here and ask lots of
questions. Also, try to go for a few weeks or longer if you can
totally emersing yourself in VoiceOver as philosophically it differs
quite a lot from that with which you may be familiar on Windows.
Finally, if you bought a laptop, get an external keyboard.
Happy Hacking,
cdh

Hi listers,
My name is Mike Busboom, and I have joined this list because I will
be taking possession of my Mac Book in late February. I am very
excited!
I have been a PC user since 1984, having started with MS DOS,
migrating to Windows 3.1, etc.
Since my point of reference is currently MS Windows, I was wondering
if there was any documentation that explains concepts from a Windows
vs. Leopard point of view. I am not looking for evaluations; I am
just trying to find materials that might use Windows points of
reference to explain Voice Over concepts.
I am also wondering if there is documentation that describes the
layout of the Mac Book and its keyboard.
A little bit about me:
I grew up on a farm in Illinois, but I have been living in Vienna,
Austria since 1976. I have a guide dog named Arla, I enjoy hiking
and wine collecting. I love all things pertaining to Bible
studying, so I especially hope that the Mac world has software that
will allow me to follow this pursuit.
I love meeting new people. If any of you want to contact me off
list, please feel free to do so. I can also be reached on Skype
where my user name is mbusboom .
My best to all of you and please allow me to apologize in advance if
any of my questions are too “novice-like.”
Mike
