Hi Geoff, Getting your first Mac is very exciting. I remember wanting to know all I could about what to do when my macbook arrived. It's true, voiceover may start automatically but if it doesn't, you will probably have to press the fn key along with command f5. The fn is the bottom left corner key on your macbook keyboard. Yu will learn quickly once you begin to explore the features of voiceover. And of course we are all here to help if you get stuck.
