changing the ram and possibly the harddrive I got someone else to do it, I
could've probably done it as i'm quite an experienced mac user now, though I
would imagion it would be more difficult for newer users who are still learning
their way around,, but maybe that's just me <grin>
Upgrading OS was easy.

What's difficult in upgrading a mac mini? I mean are you talking about
upgrading the Ram or the OS? The OS install is as simple as it gets, and I find
that changing the ram is not any more difficult than on any other computer. If
anything it's easier because it's easier to find the ram slot...

Hi Rick,
Great to hear you got a mac, I really like the podcasts. I've posted a few
links to help new users like you on my website

Well done on the mac setup, You did better than I did! During the setup of
my mac mini, I typed the password incorrectly and had to get apple tech support
to put it right. Quick 5 minutes over the phone and all sorted. And yes, you're
right, the mac mini is very difficult to upgrade, though you can do it.
it is certanly worth getting an apple keyboard. I found personally it works
much better. You can also use the mouse with VO if you wish to: just go to
voiceover utility (ctrl option f8) go to verbosity, and, on the announcements
tab you will find a "speak text under mouse after delay" checkbox. Check it and
drop the slider next to it down to 0.
Hope this helps, if you need any help feel free to contact me with either
the email address on the website or

Hi Everyone,
Some of you here probably know me from the Windows side of town. For
those of you that don't know me, my name is Rick Harmon and I run the Blind
Geek Zone website where i provide lots of free tutorials for Windows and
primarily Jaws. I Just purchased a mac mini a couple of weeks ago and decided
to do a series of podcasts from the perspective of switching over to the mac
from a windows point of view. I know litterally nothing about the mac side of
town and have been curious for a while now about using one. So far reviews
have been quite positive and I plan to continue to do more podcasts as I learn
how to do more and more with the mac. Anyone interested in listening to them,
the links will follow.
mac podcast 1:

mac podcast 2:
http://www.blind-geek-zone.net/audio/macpodcast2.mp3
mac podcast 3:
http://www.blind-geek-zone.net/audio/macpodcast3.mp3
Remember these podcasts are primarily geared to people curious about
switching over to the mac from windows and are not really for experienced mac
users, unless you want to have a laugh.
Enjoy,
Thanks for providing a great list for learning the mac.
Rick Harmon
