Hi, Neil, I'm commenting before I read the other replies, so that I can give you my own response to what you've written.
First, you can use QuickNav in Voiceover, which will give you most screen-reader commands with two fingers on one hand. Secondly, in my experience, when one application freezes on the Mac, this doesn't take down the entire session and cause a blue screen. It's only necessary to force-quit the misbehaving application ancd stay in the desktop. I've gone for weeks without restarting the desktop, much less restarting the computer. I have never done this on Windows. This, to me, is a big plus. Teresa -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
