Hello. I have had quite a last few months. Apples everywhere! First, I got an iPhone in June. I wrote an article about it, which went viral: http://behindthecurtain.us/2010/06/12/my-first-week-with-the-iphone/ Since then I've appeared in such publications as the Atlantic and on CBC's weekly technology program Spark. I immediately fell in love with Apple again, since I actually started on an Apple II/E with an Echo II speech synthesizer, to anyone who remembers that. It still works, by the way. After I got an iPhone I got an iPad to check out the larger screen. I knew at some point I would get a Mac, and one day a month and a half ago I knew the time had come: http://behindthecurtain.us/2010/09/11/rejoining-the-apple-family/ I absolutely love my Mac. I got an iMac to do audio editing, but now just use it for everything of course. I also just got one of the beautiful brand new MacBook Air 11-inch models. Now I have the whole line!
Unlike many, I actually come to the Mac from Linux, having ditched Windows years ago. I felt delighted to learn that a lot of my knowledge will not go to waste. I feel that Apple has brought the cutting edge to the blind, for example bringing the power of touchpad gestures to the desktop. I also appreciate the way it combines a clean interface on top of a Unix environment. I look forward to learning so much! The Apple Accessibility team contacted me because of my iPhone article, and recommended I join this list. I feel glad I did, I've already started learning things. Check out my blog and read about my adventures, including my most recent tale of getting a MobileMe account. No doubt I will have many more Apple tales! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
