Oh, don't get me wrong, I believe it's an understatement. But, apple does learn from things that are buggy in a previous release, for the most part. I'm also hoping things are fixed in ML, as well as the stupid bug that prohibits us from accessing the wifi menu in recovery.

That is an understatement: VO start-up under lion being buggy. A few months ago, I did a clean install to see if it would help, but as far as I was concerned, the clean install had way more quirks than my upgrade install. Thank God for Carbon Copy Cloner; I just restored my original lion install, and have resigned myself to dealing with VO's quirks. Every time a lion update is released, I keep hoping they'll fix whatever they broke, but so far, no dice. I'm a bit nervous about Mountain Lion, but hopefully it will end up being better than Lion. I guess only time will tell. I guess the poit is that I agree with Daniel; reinstalling lion to fix that 1 little quirk was probably overkill, but at least Apple has made the OS installation accessible, so if nothing else, I suppose it was good mac practice. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Daniel Miller Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2012 3:47 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right Hi, I highly doubt you needed to reinstall for that. That's a known issue in Lion, where Voiceover will not speak at the login field, even though it's set to. In fact, there are bugs with VO starting on startup in lion in general. I've reported them to Apple for investigation, so perhaps they'll be addressed in Mountain Lion. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jenny Keller Sent: Saturday, May 05, 2012 2:44 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Trying to reinstall operating system, not sure if I did it right I don't know yet, I only turned on my computer once since then and it went directly to the desk top, but that doesn't mean anything, it only means that it hasn't had time to act weird yet. We'll see the next time I shut down and turn it back on. Keep your fingers crossed.
