Wow this infighting is offputting and counter productive. I'm newly
legally blind and spent 22 years in the computer industry in
distribution and mtg environments. I came form a PC background and
switched to mac when I lost my vision. I was outraged by the cost of
accessable technology and simply couldn't believe my eyes - yes pun
intended. Although I have uses PC's been a prod mngr, Dir and vp of
sales, I found myself completely at a loss when trying to learn voice
over and jaws.
So remember, even those of us with extensive backgrounds in computers
can and do have difficulty with learning new adative technology.
The reason I joined this list was to do just that, as I'm sure many of
us here are doing.
I love the idea of a free vo and want to learn it. Come on now being
blind or visually impaired is difficult enough within a sighted world,
let's try to keep our world a little more civil.
Now IM off for another fun injection of avastin into my right retina,

Hi Carolyn,
Given the context of my single word response with a question mark, I
believe it was clear that I was saying "Scripts? What scripts are
you talking about." Further, given the fact that VoiceOver is not
scripted like JAWS is, which someone else also pointed out, I think
my simple, one word question would prompt a further explanation from
the person asking the question. If, in fact, they were asking about
scripts for VoiceOver, well then, it would be an opportunity to
clarify the fact that VoiceOver is not a scripted screen reader.
BTW, the archives clearly show why I stopped moderating the list. I
doubt you really see why I stepped down based on your exchange with
me here. You don't know the first thing about me if you think I'm
rude or unreasonable. If I misread your presumption, by all means,
tell me off list why you think I don't moderate this list anymore
because that would truly be pointless traffic.
Have a wonderful day!

Ok, Slau, point taken. However, since you've moderated a list, you
might understand the pointlessness of one word questions in
response to someone's quiery. Besides, this is a mac
list, and one would think information should be exchanged willingly
re anything to do with mac and accessibility. I guess I can see
why you don't moderate this list anymore.
Have a great day.

Hi Carolyn,
Hmm, where do I start? First of all, I hardly think my quizzical
response is much of a contributor to the "pointless traffic" on the
list. As a former moderator of this list, I know all too well about
pointless traffic. What I feel troubles the list more is traffic
that is really meant for a different list like, say, how to run
Windows and JAWS on a Mac.
Second, if the point of your posting to your objection to my
laconic response was to direct it toward the list in general, then
you should have simply done so. Otherwise, if it was specifically
directed toward me, you should have simply followed your own advice
to not clutter the list with "pointless traffic" and sent me a
private message.

elaborate?
