Hey Marsh,This is good. I think that is exactly what happened and this is a good round up of what happens at the first startup.
I am going to keep this message to send to the list for new MAC buyers. We need to remember that instant gratification some times takes a while. Keith Reedy On Aug 6, 2009, at 12:32 PM, Marshall Scott wrote:
Hi Folks,FYI, I think Russell's problem was caused by the delay between the end of the music and the start of speech. I almost got suckered at the same place. So here is what happens when you start a brand, spanking new Mac:1. Machine asked to select the main language. 2. Music plays (and there is no way to stop it. 3. Music stops.4. After a few seconds, the voice saying "OS X contains a built in screen reader..."This is just to avoid problems in the future. Marsh On Aug 6, 2009, at 10:23 AM, Keith Reedy wrote:Way to go Russell!
