Thank you so much!  I guess I have enough to do my homework now!  Again,
I appreciate this much.

Hi Richard, I use to get tapes from a friend of computer folks, long
before I had a computer, but the guides at

http://www.icanworkthisthing.com

are very good, especially the section on voice over and applications,
and at least on leopard, there is the quick start tutorial with control
option command f8, which will take you through an introduction to voice
over, plus, there is

http://www.lioncourt.com

and

http://www.screenlessswitchers.com

so those resources should get you started, along with Shane Jackson's
podcasts at

http://www.blindworldblog.blogspot.com

so I hope this helps you in your decision to get a mac.  I got my mac
about 9 months ago, and I'm still doing basic things with it, but I will
never look back though at times, I wanted to give up.

Hell everyone,

I have been using computers for 20 years.  However, I have finally
decided to get serious about using a Mac.  I know that as a Windows
user, I probably carry a good deal of bad baggage with me, but I feel
that I can certainly learn this system.  I will most likely ask you all
some rather foolish seeming questions, and having participated on many
mailing lists, I know how boring the same questions from new users can
be.  So, let me ask two questions here that might mean I don't bother
everyone with questions that have been asked and answered many times.
First, what is the best source of information about VoiceOver?  And,
what is the best source of information about the Mac OS itself and some
of its underlying functionality?

If any of you have some good ideas here, please write!

Thanks in advance (I'm one of those few people who likes English
sentences, so I don't say things lik tia)
