Hi there, thanks for the intro. I went to an apple shop today and I saw the leopard software in action. It's good, but I was told that I need to buy two other things for blind and partially sighted users. I don't know how true this is, as the newest mac in the shop apparently needs these two applications. I can't remember what they are, but maybe someone would have a better idea? take care love
