I upgraded to snow leopard. After the upgrade when I open a mail message voice over will no longer automatically read the e-mail.

I realize I can just hit VO plus J to jump to a message but I really prefer to hit return/enter to open the message or messages that are in a thread.

Now, since the upgrade, voice over will just read a few words or the first sentence then says nothing or says mail has new window, or text, or message content scroll area. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone know how to fix this. I find it more cumbersome now to read messages. I know this may seem small and I can get voiceover to read the entire message after a few keystrokes but I really found it much easier and much faster when voiceover just read the entire e-mail message automatically rather than a few words or the first sentence only.

Partitioning External hard Drives with Disc Utility
Hello Everyone, first off, I'd like to say thanks to all those who are so helpful in their replies. Its been great actually being able to get help with the issues I encounter. I have a question regarding the disc utility. I am trying to partition an external hard drive, and I'm having difficulty in selecting a particular partition when I select 2 partitions in the pop up menu. Does anyone know how to effectively create, name, and designate size for specific partitions? Just for your information, I can select 2 partitions, but then all of the fields for naming and sizing the partition are dimmed. Any help would be appreciated as usual.

Re: VoiceOver on the Nano: TTS or not?
I really don't see why they would use a tts engine for the menues but make samples for the song names. At the end of the day, the only time the menue structure is going to change is after a firmware update at which time your nano would be connected to your pc / mac so samples could be generated whilst the firmware was being installed. If this is the method they are going to use, then its quite possible that some people are going to have a different voice for track names to the one they have for menues; this seems a bit pointless imo. I'm not saying your wrong scot, I just don't see what the advantage is for using a tts for part of the ipod and not all of it.

Re: VoiceOver on the Nano: TTS or not?
Not sure I get it either Ben tbh, but that's what accessibility said, so hopefully it's right. Perhaps one advantage a little way down the road would be that with TTS reading parts of the interface we could have access to dynamic content of apps and menus... who knows. Either way for now it's probably not a big enough deal to talk me into buying a nano, gonna have to stump up the extra for a touch or iPhone somehow I think.

Re: purchased book from itunes
Hi Yuma, Is this a regular e-book purchase through the iTunes app store? Or is it a PDF booklet that accompanies an album purchase? If it is a PDF booklet it should download automatically with your tracks into your iTunes Library and be tagged the same way. You could try looking at the "Recently Added" playlist in your sources table. I find this a bit puzzling, because I don't recall e-books with most audiobooks. There are sometimes PDF guides that accompany language audiobooks. And there are the digital booklets (PDFs) that accompany special album sets. Some audiobook vendors, like Naxos Audiobooks, sell their audiobooks with PDFs of the inserts. But I've never known iTunes to do that (even for the Naxos audiobooks they sell). What kind of format are we looking for here? Cheers, Esther Yuma Antoine Decaux wrote: > > Hi Anna, > > I meant that i purchased an e-book from itunes.

Re: VoiceOver on the Nano: TTS or not?
Interesting, I don't think I was making a statement and so can't be right nor wrong. I was responding to what someone had posted and it was more a question. I understand what your saying it seems to me the Nano I thought did not have the ability to handle tts do to hardware limitations. However, the newer models with video abilities and the like may just have the ability to do so. Furthermore, I'm wondering about the recording facilities of the new Nano.

Re: purchased book from itunes
Dear Yuma, Have you checked your downloads folder? That's where downloads usuallly go unless they are from Audible or audiobooks from ITunes store in which case they go directly into the Audiobooks folder in your Source table. Since it is an e-book, it might have conceivably gone into your downloads folder.

Hi Yuma, Well the folder for iTunes downloads is in your account under: ~/Music/iTunes I'm still confused, because it sounds as though you either purchased this through the iTunes app store, in which case it would download as an application into the Mobile Applications folder under the ~/Music/ iTunes account, or else you managed to purchase this through Stanza, which is an iPhone or iPod Touch app. Do you have an iPhone? You can purchase O'Reilly store ebooks that can be read outside of iTunes, but it sounds as though you purchased one of the ebooks as an application. If so, I don't think that you can read it without an iPhone or the new iPod Touch, and it will show up under your Mobile Applications folder with a name like iManual 1.5,ipa. And Greg and Josh said that the Stanza app (on the iPhone) wasn't accessible, or was "almost accessible" (in Josh's words). However, I have purchased the O'Reilly ebooks that are released for use with Stanza. Stanza is supposed to be able to use standard ePub formats, and the downloaded Stanza Desktop application works -- it's a bit like a cross between Preview and reading HTML content. But in order to get the ebooks, I created an O'Reilly login account at their site, and then I purchased a book through their web site (putting in a STANZALIB coupon code for a 40 per cent discount). Those ebooks you can download through the account you create on the O'Reilly site. If you have an iPhone, there's supposed to be a way to upload them to read on your iPhone through the Stanza app. I think that may be different from what you did, though? My guess is that your purchase went into the Mobile Applications folder, but I don't know how you would read that without an iPhone or iPod Touch.

Re: purchased book from itunes
Hi ester, Thanks so much for taking your time to explain how things work, all devices included. Yes, i do have an iphone. I have checked in my applications list and i found it though i don't know how it works yet. I did think that e-books were going to be standard pdfs to be read by any package but it seems this one is an application which, as you suggested, should be read by a third party app such as stanza. I'll check all that out i guess. One thing, i don't think its really a joyride to read stuff on the iphone. I'd much prefer using the controls of a desktp for browsing through important chapters and such. I will check your method and report back. Again, thanks for your time. best Yuma --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: purchased book from itunes
Hi Yuma, OK, correction, that coupon code for discount was STANZACAT (not LIB at the end). Here's a web page that describes the process of buying O'Reilly's ebooks. The comments give information on how to purchase and where to download the books from your individual mobile library with O'Reilly -- they also mentioned the coupon code.: http://toc.oreilly.com/2009/03/oreilly-ebooks-now-in-stanza.html (O'Reilly Ebooks now in Stanza Catalog) I bought one of their ebook bundles with the 40 per cent discount coupon code (STANZACAT). Apparently, that's the same discount you would get if you managed to purchase through the Stanza application, which may not be totally accessible. The bundle includes pdf, epub, and something else for the ebook formats. I was curious, because I wanted to know whether Stanza was accessible, but I didn't want to get stuck with just one format that I couldn't read. Also, I wanted to compare the experience of reading the PDF and the ePub. (PDF is still easier.) I could use Stanza Desktop (a separate app that you can use to convert formats), but it wasn't really great to use for long books -- I couldn't pause in the middle and resume. Also, I was trying to read a few free PDF ebooks distributed from Publisher's sites like: http://www.suvudu.com/freelibrary/ and I found the experience somewhat variable. (Some books include some encoding string about the source that gets read out at the end of every page). O'Reilly also has this online ebook reader site called Bookworm: http://bookworm.oreilly.com/ Someone reviewed it in Blind Cool Tech on the Windows side. It's usable, and not a bad way to get public domain ebooks through the web interface, but in VoiceOver I kept hearing the header informations for the web page each page I read, which was kind of irritating. This is probably more than you wanted to know! Try reading the O'Reilly page I linked for an overview. You can browse and purchase one of the bundles.

resuming a read on preview
Hi ester, You seem to be the ultimate doyen of preview manipulations so i will ask this to you :) I might have asked this aready but i'm not sure, or i'm cramming too much in a little time, or even worse, my coffee is laced with some memory erasing properties. I usually switch a lot from app to app. and when i read something on preview, i also have to switch a lot to the script editor when i study the applescript. When i am somewhere within a page in preview, ie not at the beginning, i don't know how to hold focus on that line or paragraph for ulterior reading. Is that done only with the hotspots? vo 1 to 0 right? but how to bring it back up when i switch back to preview? Sorry, sorry, sorry, i'm asking a lot i know...please bear with me Thanks and best Yuma --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

filezilla
Hello, I have used filezilla primarily on a windows system in the past and it worked very well, although this was version 2.

Re: filezilla
Hi, Filezilla is very unaccesible as you have to guess work through ramifications of interactions to get from one table to the other. I don't suggest this one to anyone. Transmit is ok for now, but there are issues as regard to file management from local to remote and vice versa. And when resuming downloads, it doesn't do so automatically. Also, when you download something and tell it to resume by having to re move the remote file, and you do it more than once, the file becomes corrupted from overflow. best Yuma --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: filezilla
Hi Anna, I believe its vo command shift F3. There is a way to navigate though, you go to your menu bar then to go, which is a transmit menu option then you look inside where the various folders of your root are. There is a delimitor between your stuff and their stuff so each should update to the available folders within that path. Don't try the command shift G option because it causes transmit to crash or something.

Re: so slow
I find voiceover to be a tad bit more sluggish when arrowing through when quicknav is on, but maybe that's just cuz my mac only has a gig of ram. I'm not sure why quicknav would make a difference, and really it's only like a milisecond slower, but I notice it. other than that I don't find it slow.

Re: VoiceOver on the Nano: TTS or not?
yeah, I heard that rumour about the duel core processors too. I'd wait! as much as I want an iPhone, I'm thinking I'll just wait til next year's WWDC and see what the next one has to offer. if it has a duel core processor, that means it might possibly be able to run Alex? maybe? and that would be sweet!! I don't plan to upgrade my nano to a new one...it would be nice to play with the new one and the video camera and recording options and full voiceover would be nice, but my old one works well. I'd love to play with the new ones though!!

Re: ftp client
Yes. You can do it by pressing cmd-k. It try to connect with afp by default, so in the server field type: https://ftp.ftpservername.com or what ever the domain is. You might want to chack the documentation of your service and see if they have any special instructions for connecting with a Mac if you have problems. You could always do this in windows explorer with XP, but in Leopard, it was read-only. It still says that ftp is read-only, but I've tried uploading a file with the service I use and it works with sl.

timezone weirdness
hey guys when I first installed SL, I was able to change the time to PST and pick the city I lived in and it was all good. I changed the checkbox so it would change time time zone automaticly figuring if I were to travel somewhere that might be nice. recently I've moved back to vancouver island where I go to school. it's in the same time zone, still PST, but for some reason the mac thinks I'm on eastern time in sunrise, Florida! I live miles and miles away from Florida, lol. I manually set the time back to the correct time in pst, but all my emails and stuff still show up as if they're coming in on EST and if I go into the time preferences, it still shows my city as sunrise, fl and my timezone as EST and there doesn't seem to be a way to change it. anyone else's timezones just take on a mind of their own and decide you live somewhere on a completely different coast than you actually do? lol. is there a way to change it? I unchecked the checkbox about automaticly changing time based on your location but it still doesn't show anywhere close to my area on the little time map!! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: Changing keyboard layout
James, in system preferences under keyboard and mouse tab, there are shortcut keys that would allow you to change keyboard layouts. I think the "previous keyboard layout" is command + spacebar and "next keyboard layout" is option+spacebar. I can never quite remember whether it is this way round so please check in the table of assigned shortcut keys wehre you can also change the shortcut keys to suit you. Also, I seem to think you have to add the keyboards you want to the menu on the menu bar where you can select your keyboard manually by pressing control+f8 and arrowing left to input menu.

Re: ejecting a cd?
Anouk, there should be an eject button on your laptop keyboard, at the very top row the rightmost butoon. Hold it down for a few moments. If it doesn't work, switch your computer off and then switch it on while holding down the physical mouse button. Hope this will help.

Re: resuming a read on preview
Hi Yuma, You're going to have to use a hotspot if you want to switch back to the place you left off reading in Preview. Use Control-0 (or other number, between 0-9) to set the hotpot and then use VO-0 to switch back to the hotspot after you switch applications back to Preview (e.g., with Command-Tab). Preview's behavior under Leopard is actually not as good (for VoiceOver users doing straight reading) as it was under Tiger, even though they made continuous reading possible without having to issue a command to go on to the next page. You can read Jacob's comment about this in the list archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/discuss%40macvisionaries.com/msg46944.html This behavior (having to set a hotspot to return to your position on the page you're reading) is also true if you use Skim, a very similar application that has been described as being like "Preview on steroids", to read your PDF documents place of Preview. (Skim has a second sidebar that is used for generating and navigating through annotations you make to your text, in addition to the one for navigating a table of contents. See: http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/ if you're interested in this.) Since some of the current recommendations for Snow Leopard are to set Preview's display to single page view mode instead of single page continuous, I wonder whether you can read continuously (without Command-Right arrow at the end of each page) using Preview in Snow Leopard. Incidentally, they've been building in hooks for more functionality into Preview and the PDF files that you create when you print and save as PDF. For example, I was surprised to find after upgrading to Safari 3 (released a few months before Leopard), that PDF files printed from web pages had clickable links. That is, if you use print (Command-P) and the "PDF menu button" on the printer dialog window to save a copy of web page content via the "Save as PDF" option, and you go back to read the PDF file in Preview, clicking with your mouse on the PDF document anywhere there was an actual link on the web page will activate that link, just as if you were in Safari. Of course, the attributes that tell you this is a link are not announced, but if you can tell where they are by context and click there when your mouse cursor is on the link, you'll activate them. This also works if you copy and paste web pages or send their selected contents to TextEdit through the Services menu option. Safari will activate and play linked mp3 files, download your files, etc. The iLounge web pages have some of the best product reviews for new iPods, etc. but tend to have busy animated graphics ads, etc. (although there is a mobile version you can access with your iPhone). Anyway, when the Nano 4G was released, I sent the article contents to TextEdit so I could leave the pages, and clicked the links in the TextEdit file listen to the sound quality of the headphones, etc. HTH Cheers, Esther Yuma Antoine Decaux wrote: > > Hi ester, > > You seem to be the ultimate doyen of preview manipulations so i will > ask this to you :) > > I might have asked this aready but i'm not sure, or i'm cramming too > much in a little time, or even worse, my coffee is laced with some > memory erasing properties. > > I usually switch a lot from app to app. and when i read something on > preview, i also have to switch a lot to the script editor when i study > the applescript.

Multi-language spell checking in Snow Leopard [was Re: About nisus writer and spell checking]
Hello James and Annie, I don't use Nisus Writer Pro, but I've read that there are a few bugs in the spell checking under Snow Leopard that will be sorted in the next beta release, in case Annie is using Snow Leopard. I've also read that Snow Leopard itself supports multiple language spell checking, based on the languages you check to have it check under System Preferences in "Language & Text". Danish is one of the languages. This doesn't work for all applications, but it works in TextEdit and Safari, for example. Here's the link to the TUAW article on "Unsung Snow Leopard feature: multiple language spell-checker": http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/04/unsung-snow-leopard-feature-multiple-language-spell-checker/ This seems like a great feature for people who work with multiple languages in the same document.

Re: Multi-language spell checking in Snow Leopard [was Re: About nisus writer and spell checking]
Hi Mark, I use TextEdit and TeXShop. I've started using Pages, but that's mostly because other people have started asking questions about how to use features under Pages. TeX is probably serious overkill for most users and has a steep initial learning curve. It was developed to offset the high cost of publishing mathematics texts, so you can design and control the layout of publication quality documents, and is available free, and cross-platform, with multi-language support and spell-checking. TeXShop is the GUI-based interface. James has used this package, as has Greg Kearney. Cheers, Esther M.

Correction on how to set hotspots [was Re: resuming a read on preview]
Hi Yuma, I think I totally mistyped this section on hotspots and my brain must have been offline (smile), not to mention having a disconnect between the typed text and muscle memory. I wrote (incorrectly): You're going to have to use a hotspot if you want to switch back to the place you left off reading in Preview. Use Control-0 (or other number, between 0-9) to set the hotpot and then use VO-0 to switch back to the hotspot after you switch applications back to Preview (e.g., with Command-Tab). Ok, first, the correction for setting a hotspot is to use VO-Shift-1 or other number from 0 through 9. You should hear VoiceOver say "Save as hotspot 1" or whatever number you typed. Then, to switch back, you press VO-1 again and resume from where you left off. So the corrected instructions are: Use VO-Shift-0 (or other number between 0-9) to set the hotspot and then use VO-0 to switch back to the hotspot after you switch applications back to Preview (e.g., with Command-Tab). Another comment: I've found Skim to be more stable about using "Find" (Command-F) in a document and moving to the found string and resuming reading than Preview has been. Hope this is now correct -- I tried this out before replying.

Re: reading menu items
Hi Chris, A great VoiceOver shortcut to learn is VO-Shift-C for "Last phrase copied to pasteboard". You can move over a menu item and, just after VoiceOver has announced it, press VO-Shift-C. If you open a TextEdit window or are in Mail, etc., pasting with Command-V will give you the exact phrase that was spoken. You may need to delete extraneous words or blank spaces at the end from the pasted phrase, which is why using an intermediate TextEdit window to work with the phrase can be a good idea. Then, when you want to assign a keyboard shortcut, you can select your phrase, copy it with Command-C, and paste it in with Command-V in the field for typing in the Menu command. This is also a great shortcut to use when you're communicating with someone who is trying to troubleshoot your error messages -- you can get an exact copy of that obscure sounding message and paste it into a mail message.

iPhone 3GS iPod Application Extended Playback Features Now Accessible With VoiceOver Screen Reader
[As Posted on the Candleshore BLOG] iPhone 3GS iPod Application Extended Playback Features Now Accessible With VoiceOver Screen Reader Hello Everyone, I am delighted to report that with the 3.1 iPhone 3GS firmware update, those of us using Apple's VoiceOver screen reader now have access to the extended playback features available in the onboard iPod application. The extended playback features include the ability to adjust the playback speed, set the number of times a track will repeat, and use the Scrubber Bar to adjust playback start position. VoiceOver users, do the following to access the extended playback features: 1. While a track is playing/Paused, use a Split-Tap on any area of the Display Screen labeled Album Art, by VoiceOver to toggle access to the extended playback features. Currently, when this command is used as stated above, VoiceOver will say, "Album Art, image." NOTE 1: A Split-Tap is when one parks a single finger on the Display Screen, then quickly taps another area of the Display Screen with a second finger. 2. When the extended playback features are displayed, use standard navigation gestures to scroll through the options including Scrubber Bar (track position), 30-Second Rewind Button, Repeat Button, and the Playback Speed Button. Note 2: Use a Split-Tap to cycle between the various states of both the Repeat and Playback Speed buttons.

Re: tips on using the trackpad
Hi, I'm sorry but I do not have the multi-touch track pad so I really cannot offer help. However, I understand that you can use the keyboard help to play with the track pad as well. Press vo plus K. Then try different gestures. When you're done practicing press escape to get out of keyboard help. I bet someone here will have more information for you.

Re: reading menu items
There was an article just recently on tidbits.com describing how to assign AppleScripts to PageUp PageDown Home, and End using the "defaults" command in terminal. So I believe these are kept in application specific preference files. I'll bet that Ester goes and finds the article and gives us more useful information. She is absolutely amazing!

Re: Multi-language spell checking in Snow Leopard [was Re: About nisus writer and spell checking]
Hi James, No, I haven't made the jump to Snow Leopard yet, but TeXShop is just fine in Leopard. I had to use a program that wasn't upgraded to Snow Leopard so I delayed upgrading my system. I was trying out a recently released freeware program called "Language Switcher": http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/home_learning/languageswitcher.html This is interesting, and it's a way to open specific applications in a language that you select, but I think I managed to alter some of my preferences files when I ran this, and I need to clear that up before upgrading. There are some oddities when running Language Switcher with VoiceOver, since I think you're supposed to select the application you want is to click on a visually selected item in a scrolling area. With VoiceOver, you should just interact with the toolbar and type in the (first letters of the) application you want, then VO-Right arrow to hear the current application announced and the number of languages that are supported, then select your language on the pop-up button. I would start by navigating to the Edit menu bar and selecting "Show Apps", which brings up a dialog window of all the apps in your Applications Directory. Uncheck the ones you don't want to switch languages to (i.e. most of them). The first of your checked apps to show up in alphabetical order appears as the startup selection. I had a little difficulty unchecking items in multiple sessions. It can also act oddly if you happen to have a file that is not an application in your apps directory (like a script). If you're feeling adventurous you can give this a shot. It opens up mail, TextEdit, etc. with a specific language localization, so that the window names, spell checker, etc. are set to that language. For instance, if you open up TextEdit in French, your window will be named "Sans titre" instead of "Untitled". And it will only show you languages that have localizations for these apps -- if you've stripped out the other language support at installation, or if an app does not come with localization in a particular language, you won't see that language as an option.

reccomendation for menu planning software
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew of voiceover accessible software where maybe I can enter our family recipes, plan menus, and have it create a grocery list. I used to have one like six years ago back when my vision was better and back when I was using windows and zoom text. It was a Betty Crocker program with tons of Betty Crocker recipes and I could enter my own recipes as well and do menu planning. Also, I would be interested if it was a website that was voiceover accessible. Either a website or a software I purchase would be helpful. I really cannot see much at all so I would need it to be "read" by voiceover and cannot use anything where I would be required to use vision.

Re: reading menu items
Hi Chris, The custom keyboard commands are stored in the property list files for each application. This is going to be in a folder named: ~/Library/Preferences where the tilde at the beginning means that the folder is under your user account. Plist files have names like com.apple.mail.plist that identify both the source organization and the application. The way I would back these up is by opening a Finder window pointed to the Library/Preferences folder in your user account in list view mode (Command 2 if you're not already set to this view). This shows the file name with the second column being the date modified. If you navigate (VO-Right arrow) to the Date Modified column and use the sort command (VO-Shift-backslash where backslash is the key at the right end of your keyboard above return and below delete on an English input keyboard; or you can use the commands menu VO-H twice, which also works for non-English input keyboards and find the "Sort" command). Sort on the modified date so that the most recently modified files show up first. (Applying the sort command again inverts the sort order between ascending and descending). Once you have assigned your keyboard shortcut, switch back to your Finder window with Command-tab. You'll be able to see the most recently modified files, and just select and copy them. (Hold down the shift key while you arrow down from the top to select a bunch of these). Copy with Command-C and paste them into some backup folder to hold your preferences, maybe one that you create on your Desktop (as long as you don't clutter up your Desktop). This is the only way that I've been able to find out the names of some preference files. For example, when I set up shortcuts to switch languages I think that shows up in something called "com.apple.HIToolbox.plist" which turns out to stand for Human Interface toolbox -- something I wouldn't have guessed off the bat. Of course, any Time Machine backups will copy these files, but it's convenient to keep a local copy around since they're small. HTH.

Re: filezilla
Chris, I meant to reply to your (much) earlier post about webdrive, but never got this out of my drafts: You might be interested in trying out ExpanDrive which is similar to Web Drive, with support for FTP, SFTP, and Amazon S3. This was designed for the Mac and works through the Finder interface. Like Web Drive, it is available in versions for both the Mac and Windows. The Mac version definitely works with VoiceOver. There has been a Windows version (not beta) for well over a year, it was rewritten to incorporate the new addtions (like Amazon S3 support) and capabilities of the Mac version. At the time I found some forum links by users, and the comments indicated that, at least back in March, some Windows users found this to run faster than Web Drive, and another user who tried this in July (no indication of which platform) found this much faster than web drive. This has other nice features, like reattaching to the drive automatically if you change networks (e.g. on a laptop). These types of solutions (ExpanDrive and WebDrive) are much faster than using Command-K and typing in a server name --- I would only do that and expect reasonable speed if I'm connecting to a local network. http://www.expandrive.com/ There are also free solutions based on the MacFUSE project like MacFusion, but there are some stability issues.

Re: reading menu items
Hi Chris, I forgot to tell you that the easy way to navigate to the ~/Library/ Preferences folder is to use the Command-Shift-G "Go to folder" shortcut. This brings up a dialog window where you can type in any path you want -- including locations on external drives. So if you bring up a Finder window, use Command-Shift-G, and then paste in: ~/Library/Preferences and press return, you'll be in the folder where your preference lists for applications are stored. That's the one you can examine in list view, and sort by Date Modified.

I've also read that Snow Leopard itself supports multiple language spell checking, based on the languages you check to have it check under System Preferences in "Language & Text". Danish is one of the languages. This doesn't work for all applications, but it works in TextEdit and Safari, for example. Here's the link to the TUAW article on "Unsung Snow Leopard feature: multiple language spell-checker": http://www.tuaw.com/2009/09/04/unsung-snow-leopard-feature-multiple-language -spell-checker/ This seems like a great feature for people who work
Snow Leopard
Just got Snow Leopard for our Imac. I'm way behind on emails, so give me some ideas of what to look for and try out. :) Than Ks.

Re: so slow
William, what are you talking about "voiceOver being so damn slow"? I haven't noticed any sluggishness when arrowing up and down through the message list, either with the VO keys or with the standard arrows.
