Re: Program clean up
Hi Dan, So far I usually clean up after deleted program files by hand. General guidelines: 1. If the program came with an installer and uninstaller, use the uninstaller to remove the program. 2. Otherwise, in general, just move the application to the trash. 3. Check /Library/Application Support/ and /Library/ Preferences/ (the system level libraries -- note "/" before the folder names) and the corresponding folders on your individual user account ~/Library/Application Support/ and ~/Library/Preferences/ (with the leading "~" followed by "/" to indicate this is under your user account -- on your Mac ~/Library would be the Library folder under user account "dan", for example). You can use the Command-Shift-G "Go to folder" shortcut in finder, and then type or paste in any of these folders that you want to check, e.g.: /Library/Application Support/ /Library/Preferences/ ~/Library/Application Support/ ~/Library/Preferences/ Move any folders with the application name that you find under these libraries to the trash. In addition, there may be small preference files associated with the deleted app. These will have the app name as part of the file name, but often will also include the name of the company responsible for the software in the file name, e.g.: TeXShop.plist com.apple.iTunes.plist org.mozilla.firefox.plist You can also move preference files associated with deleted apps to the trash. These files are quite small, so you can simply leave them in the Preferences folders if you are not sure of the identification, and don't want to chance trashing the preferences for any active apps by mistake. HTH. I just gave the reference to the review on file cleaning apps for informational purposes -- I haven't tried to download each of these and try them all out.

Re: introduction
Hi there, thanks for the intro. I went to an apple shop today and I saw the leopard software in action. It's good, but I was told that I need to buy two other things for blind and partially sighted users. I don't know how true this is, as the newest mac in the shop apparently needs these two applications. I can't remember what they are, but maybe someone would have a better idea? take care love Andrea and Zeta! xxx Vale touched the hearts of everyone she met. She will live on forever!

Re: introduction
Andrea, you don't need to buy anything separate, well unless you want a braille display and then you'd have to buy one of those. but as far as using a mac with leopard, all you need is the computer. voiceover, like it did in tiger, comes built into leopard. peace and positivity Jessi follow me on twitter www.twitter.com/canadian_diva On 22-Apr-09, at 2:20 PM, Andrea and Zeta! wrote: > > Hi there, thanks for the intro.

Re: readiris ocr installed
From here I had to have my mom's help when I purchased readiris because I can't read the number on the package, what you're thinking perhaps? I actually went and downloaded readiris off of a torrent… gimme a break I had purchased it legally already. Anyway, those illegal downloads are nice at times, well quite often, because they give you the serial number in a text file all you need to do is copy and paste it.

Re: introduction
Hey there Andrea. How are you doing? I hope your doing well. Welcome to the list. I hope you enjoy your stay. Please fill free to ask any questions from us, and people will chime in as they can. You do not need to buy anything for the mac at all. The only things you may want, and it is your preference, is accessories. These include braile displays, and so fourth. Again, that is you preference. VoiceOver comes built into the OS, and is immediately available for you to access upon using your new computer. I hope this helps.
