Hi David,

As a blind person using VO on the Mac? Not much that I can see.  I was asking a 
serious question.  I really wanted to know what advantages you found in using 
this method to see if I might find it useful in my own work flow.  Not for 
nothing, your answer really didn’t explain the advantages to me.  i find this 
to often be the case when people answer a question with a question of their own.

JMO. 

thanks anyway though.
