I've had a classic for about 3 years now, and use it successfully. The main thing I can suggest is to memorize the menu structure, this way you'll know where things are based on the number of clicks you hear. I had a sighted friend walk me through the menu a few times, and once we did that, I was all set. If you haven't figured this out yet, I'll see if I can find the document with the menus and email it to you off list. I hope you figure the classic out.! Trust me, it's worth it! :) "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower", Steve Jobs On May 8, 2010, at 3:19 PM, Cheryl Homiak wrote: > I know this is OT because voiceover doesn't work on the Classic, so if > somebody wants to write me offlist that's fine.
