Hello, I forgot to mention about using a braille display with the Mac. Unless it is just me and inexperience in using my Braille Note with my MacBook Air, I have given up in voiceover. I have had difficulty navigating in TextEdit, and Safari, as well as on the finder. Using the Braille Note with JAWS or Window-Eyes is my preference at this time. Maybe others can give me pointers on how to be more efficient using a braille display with my Mac.
