yeah, I get questions like that all the time. how easy it to do this? you use the mac for everything? wow. like they don't believe it can work or something. it's sad!! I know apple wasn't always known for its accessibility in the past but they're really really doing a complete 180 and changing things now and people need to start realizing that!! I'm sure they will though, once more people see the mac in action. peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 19-Apr-09, at 7:29 AM, Mark Baxter wrote:
