Re: -- Question on Autostarting a VM under Fusion

[Scott Howell]

Hi Nic,

Thanks, for some reason that did not work for me, but I'll give that another 
try. That is what I recalled as well for changing this behavior, so at least 
you helped to confirm the process.

Re: Happy fifth birthday VoiceOver

[Scott Howell]

I remember my first iBook and all the subsequent machines. In fact my employer 
is going to let me trade in my older Macbook and crappy Dell PC for a Macbook 
Pro running Fusion since I have to still use windows for some applications used 
in our organization. Sure makes me happy.

itunes issue solved

[denise avant]

Hi all,

Last evening I was having trouble getting my phone to sync with itunes. The
problem is solved. There was a button I needed to click on using my screen
reader, and it wasn't easy to reach. I finally maneuvered to it, and it
solved the problem.

Re: -- Question on Autostarting a VM under Fusion

[Scott Howell]

Nic,

Just curious, do you have to have the OS shut down or can it be suspended? I 
performed the steps, but what seems to happen is I get the sound like a menu 
has appeared and then the VM launches. Hmmm, this is not the behavior I 
experienced in the past. Thoughts appreciated.

tnx,

Re: -- Question on Autostarting a VM under Fusion

Hi,

It's shut down. It's weird it isn't working. The menu ought to pop up. You 
might want to  confirm the mouse cursor is actually there with VO-F5.

Re: Happy fifth birthday VoiceOver

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi,

I'd love to say this.

VoiceOver has forever changed my life, and the way I do things. NO longer am I 
dependent on third-party scripts to make a program accessible, and if an 
interface changes, VoiceOver does not stop working or tell me that unknown 
functions are called. My productivity level has increased hugely, and there 
isn't one day when I don't love using VoiceOver for its intuitiveness, 
snappiness and allover stability. I love you VoiceOver.

Yeah, maybe a bit dramatized, but whatever. I said that on Twitter, so...

Have a good morning, everyone.

Nic

Re: iPad and bluetooth refreshable braille

[erik burggraaf]

the alva satelite 544/580's are still current but not really desireable as a 
new purchase.  The alva bc640/80's are not up to the quality standard of the 
old satelite and definitely not the original alvas, but they have good features 
such as braille input, compact design, bluetooth and carrying case.  The 
braille connect line is better built, has even more conpact design, longer 
battery life than the alva, emulation modes for clasic displays, as well as 
input and bluetooth, but it dowsn't have even the option for a nice case and 
several other minor usibility features might steer you towards an  alva 
depending on what you like.

I really should do a podcast on some high end braille displays soon.  It seems 
to be coming up a lot lately.

how to use an external microphone on a mac book pro

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Hi all.

I have been trying with more microphones, if I could use an external
microphone. I found one that I could connect to the line in, but the
recordings is very low. I have a mac book pro with one mic/headphone
and then I have the line in. Is there any way I could use the
headphone/mic for an external mic.

Best regards Annie.

dumb question about skype

[olivia norman]

Hi Everyone:
So, this is the dumbest question I've asked, but how on earth to I answer a 
call on skype?  I see the quick answer window, but VO doesn't seem to work that 
way.  Would love the answer to this one, it's been a while since I've used 
skype, and apparently, I've forgotten how to answer a call.
Thanks! :)

RE: logic 9 express help

[Bryan Smart]

Hi Chad.

You asked about Logic support a month ago when you ordered it, and we told you 
that it didn't work with VoiceOver. You can't assign instruments to tracks. You 
can't work any mixing features. You can't manipulate the regions list in order 
to edit.

You can't use Logic's instruments in Garage Band, or in any other program 
besides Logic.

Logic installs some extra instrument sounds for EXS24, which GB can use, but 
you could have picked that up much more cheaply through Jam Packs.

Oh well. Sorry you opened the box, as no refund now.

Bryan

Re: Happy fifth birthday VoiceOver

[olivia norman]

I completely agree.  Voiceover is wonderful.  Completely off topic, but I had a 
second interview for employment with apple yesterday, and it went great. :) 
When I returned home I was amazed to find the message about it being 
voiceover's fifth birthday.  Now, if that's not a sign, I don't know what is. :)

Re: dumb question about skype

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi Olivia,

Just VO-right to the answer button. Or you could do VO-End to get to the last 
item which is "Chat", then VO-left twice. I'm not sure if you can use VO-up and 
down in some fashion to make this even faster, but I never really use those 
keys.

Re: how to use an external microphone on a mac book pro

[Chris Blouch]

This has been covered before but generally there are three audio signal 
levels: speaker, line and mic. Obviously speakers are high powered while 
line level is the output you typically get from a CD player (not 
headphone) or DVD player. Mic levels are very very tiny. There is a 
diaphragm which vibrates with the sound in the air and moves a tiny coil 
of wire near a magnet, generating a very small electrical signal. All 
this means is that your Mac has a line-in jack expecting line-level 
signals while mics produce something much much smaller. So to use most 
mics with a mac you need something called a pre-amp. Pre-amps take the 
tiny mic signal and, without adding a lot of noise, boost it up a couple 
multiples.


So if all you want is a mic to skype with you could just go with some 
USB all-in-one. If you want better quality then you'll want to get a 
real mic and a preamp. Something cheap like this:


http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TubeMP/

and a basic Shure SM58 would be a good start.

Hi all.

I have been trying with more microphones, if I could use an external
microphone. I found one that I could connect to the line in, but the
recordings is very low. I have a mac book pro with one mic/headphone
and then I have the line in. Is there any way I could use the
headphone/mic for an external mic.

Best regards Annie.

iphone

I have a problem with my iphone. When ending a phone call by double tapping the 
end button vo announces the command the button disappears yet the call doesn't 
end.  Using the two finger double tap also doesn't consistently end calls.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a common problem?

RE: Finally got my Mac Book Pro, and, freeware recommendations anybody?

[Cameron]

Hi.  thanks.

H.  I'm having a look at the demo version and I am wondering if there is
any voiceover feedback when you are navigating multiple tracks?  Or, some
way to get feedback?

And/or, a way to label tracks?

Thanks,

Cameron.

Hi, I confess I haven't done much more than basic audio editing with
Amadeus.  I can say that if you choose an effects plugin, you're usually
presented with a dialog box in which you can specify parameters.  Scrubbing
is doable although could be better in my opinion, arrows basically scrub.
The trick to Amadeus Pro is that there is a play head and an insertion
cursor.  For reasons I'm sure I'll never understand, these two elements can
not be linked.  There are keyboard commands, however, to route the insertion
pointer to play head, or route play head to insertion pointer.  A pain to
have to remember the keystrokes every time you want to make an edit, but
eventually, it sort of becomes second nature.  Yep, definitely no Sonar. :)

Hope this helps and I'll try and research the EQ question a bit.

Steve

I didn't know that about finder regarding cd/dvd burning.  That's a handy
tip.  

Thanks!

First, congrats on the new Mac, that sounds like quite the machine.
It sounds like you have all the software you could want, but I have a
few suggestions. First, although nowhere near as good as Sonar,
Amadeus Pro is a great, accessible audio editor for the Mac.  The
program costs $40 I believe, but it's well worth it.  Second, you can
burn DVDs directly from theFinder.  Simply put whatever you want to
burn in a folder, select that folder an under file, choose burn
folder.  There are a few other ways to do this as well, but I find
that to be the easiest so far.

Hope all this helps, please feel free to contact me on or off list if
I can help further.

Thanks,

Steve

Re: how to use an external microphone on a mac book pro

Hi Chris.

thank you very much.

In fact I have a really good USB mic, but the software for the mac is
not accessible at all, and therefore I can not adjust the recording
level. It is the 900usb stereo mic from xml.

Best regards Annie.

Never played with one of these but the manual for it online doesn't say

Re: parelells a complete waist of my time

[Chris Blouch]

I haven't played much with Win7, just XP under fusion. Just after 
booting it does seem to beat on my hard drive for a few minutes making 
Jaws stutter, but that clears up shortly. So if you gave 2GB to Win7, 
how much is left for OSX? 2GB?

As you discovered VMWare is pretty much the only accessible virtualization

speed and performance goes, Windows beats on the hard drive a good bit so it 
can take a while to un-sludge after starting up, especially if your Mac is 
trying to access the drive at the same time. Also need to check how much RAM 
you have left. My MacBook has 3GB so if I run 1.5GB for VMWare that only leaves 
1.5GB for the Mac. If the Mac runs out it starts doing 'virtual memory' which 
swaps older chunks of RAM to the hard drive which is orders of magnitude slower 
than real RAM. So, if your Windows virtual machine pounds the hard drive and 
you trigger some virtual memory swapping to hard drive you're in for a world of 
hurt. You might actually be faster with that 512MB virtual machine and not 
triggering memory swapping.

Re: how to use an external microphone on a mac book pro

[Annie Skov Nielsen]

Yes I can choose the mic in the  System prefferences, but I can not
adjost the recording level, so it records to low.

It can be done with some software, that I can download from:

http://www.mxlmics.com/products/900_series/990_USB/990_USB.html

But as far as I can find out the software is not accessible at all.

Best regards Annie.

 I have been trying with more microphones, if I could use an external
 microphone. I found one that I could connect to the line in, but the
 recordings is very low. I have a mac book pro with one mic/headphone
 and then I have the line in. Is there any way I could use the
 headphone/mic for an external mic.

 Best regards Annie.

Re: how to use an external microphone on a mac book pro

[Chris Blouch]

I'm assuming you have the input volume on the Sound control panel all 
the way up?


Do you have the input level on what you are using to record all the way 
up as well? If so then maybe you are stuck. Probably no way for me to 
fiddle with their software without one of their mics. Might want to ping 
them about this issue. Maybe there is a settings file somewhere that you 
can manually edit.

It can be done with some software, that I can download from:

But as far as I can find out the software is not accessible at all.

Never played with one of these but the manual for it online doesn't say
anything about installing any software, yet the do have a download for
the Mac for that mic. Weird. So what happens if you just plug it in?
Does it show up as a choice in the sound control panel for audio input?

Hi Chris.

thank you very much.

In fact I have a really good USB mic, but the software for the mac is

Best regards Annie.

2010/4/30, Chris Blouch :

  

This has been covered before but generally there are three audio signal
levels: speaker, line and mic. Obviously speakers are high powered while
line level is the output you typically get from a CD player (not
headphone) or DVD player. Mic levels are very very tiny. There is a
diaphragm which vibrates with the sound in the air and moves a tiny coil
of wire near a magnet, generating a very small electrical signal. All
this means is that your Mac has a line-in jack expecting line-level
signals while mics produce something much much smaller. So to use most
mics with a mac you need something called a pre-amp. Pre-amps take the
tiny mic signal and, without adding a lot of noise, boost it up a couple
multiples.

So if all you want is a mic to skype with you could just go with some
USB all-in-one. If you want better quality then you'll want to get a
real mic and a preamp. Something cheap like this:

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TubeMP/

and a basic Shure SM58 would be a good start.

Re: the apple user?

[Chris Blouch]

Is this right after Windows boots? I've found that Windows does a bunch 
of stuff after booting that can make it sludgy and Jaws stutters but 
after a few minutes it settles down and works fine. This is with XP. 
Maybe Windows 7 is different. Not sure what all it is doing but I think 
it checks for software updates, loads up new virus definitions and does 
a disk scan. Hard to tell.

Hello, 
As a macbook user, who has to write substantial papers for law school, and who has used his computer at a summer internship with Pepsico, I feel I can helpfully answer your questions. 
Forgive the length of this email. 
First, the idea that macs are only play toys is complete and utter nonsense. On my mac, I do use the apps like Itunes and Ichat, but I use serious apps as well. Iwork is quite accessible, as is text edit, allowing you to do extensive formatting of documents. Also, the preview application on the mac is one of the best PDF readers I have ever seen. The text is readable with voiceover, and there are few, if any crashes. What other screen readers can you say that about? 

Next, I will address your concern about microsoft office applications not being accessible. It is true that they do not work with voiceover. However, for about seventy dollars, you can pick up a program called VMware fusion. Fusion allows you to install windows and run it at the same time as your mac. This means that you can use whatever screen reader you like for windows and run office without a hitch. 
There is one more upside to running fusion on mac. After you have configured windows just the way you want it, you can create what is known as a snapshot. The snapshot will restore your system to its exact configuration at the time you took it, meaning you will always have a fresh install of windows, office, and your screen reader a click away. It's awesome, because it does a complete and utter system restore when windows decides to go south on you. For a blind person, I actually think a mac with fusion is better than a standard windows PC for this reason. Note that a fusion snapshot literally restores all files and settings to the way they were when you took it. It is much more extensive than using the built in windows system restore utility. It has saved my skin a number of time

It just copies the content of a DVD to your hard drive, which you

 This has been covered before but generally there are three audio signal
 levels: speaker, line and mic. Obviously speakers are high powered while
 line level is the output you typically get from a CD player (not
 headphone) or DVD player. Mic levels are very very tiny. There is a
 diaphragm which vibrates with the sound in the air and moves a tiny coil
 of wire near a magnet, generating a very small electrical signal. All
 this means is that your Mac has a line-in jack expecting line-level
 signals while mics produce something much much smaller. So to use most

 tiny mic signal and, without adding a lot of noise, boost it up a couple
 multiples.
 
 So if all you want is a mic to skype with you could just go with some
 USB all-in-one. If you want better quality then you'll want to get a
 real mic and a preamp. Something cheap like this:

Re: iphone

[Robert Carter]

Hi,

You probably need to practice the two finger double tap gesture. Once you get 
it right, the calls will end every time. Either go in to the accessibility 
settings and practice it or start some music in the iPod and practice starting 
and stopping it. You use the same gesture to start and stop music that you use 
to end a call.

 Hi,
 
 You can change this by doing the following.
 
 1. Find the virtual machine you want in the VIrtual machine Library. Hit 
 COmmand-Shift-L to bring this to the foreground.
 2. If the Mouse is not currently focussed on the machine you want when 
 using the VoiceOver keys to locate the virtual machine, hit VO-Command-F5.
 3. Now, Control-Click with the mouse. Literally. This will bring up a menu.
 4. Either navigate to "Open when VMWare Fusion Starts" by using the 
 VoiceOver keys or simply using down arrow, then hit enter or VO-Space to 
 uncheck.
 
 The reason I suggest using VO-Command-F5 to reposition the mouse cursor is 
 because it does not always follow.
 
 Hope this helps.

Re: malwear and macs

[Chris Blouch]

If the user is willing to download, open and install some random file 
from somewhere, even when the OS prompts with a warning, then no amount 
of anti-virus or spyware blocker is going to protect them. That's not an 
OS problem.

Bottom line is this. Don't install any cracked programs, and you're

I would't worry about it to much, because the mac will ask you if

That is why it is hard to get a virus on a mac now.

Re: malwear and macs

[Jonathan Cohn]

Ah, but one of the best ways to drop malware into the system is to
have a pop-up ad that says Hey fellow, your virus protection is out of
date.  Please give us your credit card, and we will provide you a new
virus scanning software package.

I know quite a few folks on this list have downloaded free or
inexpensive software, how are yyou sure that the software is legit.
There are a lot of tricks out there, though most are patched pretty
quickly once discovered.

That is one very good thing about the iTunes store, all software can
be scanned before being sold.  A lot of my programming friends are
upset at Apple, but it certainly makes me happy.  I was surprised at
how willfullly my children will download software from sites that they
barely know anything about.

Re: how to use an external microphone on a mac book pro

[Chris Blouch]

Right,but condenser mics usually need phantom power which, for a simple 
setup, would be a bit much. SM58s are nearly indestructible and also 
don't have as much proximity effect as the speaker's distance from the 
mic varies. Was just trying to avoid going to far into the weeds, but I 
seem to be up to my knees already  Speaking of condensors and 
phantom power, I think many cheap 'windows' mics get 5v power from the 
sound card which is why they won't work on the mac. At least I thought I 
had read that somewhere. Sort of a non-standard phantom power.

This has been covered before but generally there are three audio signal levels: 
speaker, line and mic. Obviously speakers are high powered while line level is 
the output you typically get from a CD player (not headphone) or DVD player. 
Mic levels are very very tiny. There is a diaphragm which vibrates with the 
sound in the air and moves a tiny coil of wire near a magnet, generating a very 
small electrical signal. All this means is that your Mac has a line-in jack 
expecting line-level signals while mics produce something much much smaller. So 
to use most mics with a mac you need something called a pre-amp. Pre-amps take 
the tiny mic signal and, without adding a lot of noise, boost it up a couple 
multiples.

So if all you want is a mic to skype with you could just go with some USB 
all-in-one. If you want better quality then you'll want to get a real mic and a 
preamp. Something cheap like this:

and a basic Shure SM58 would be a good start.

Re: parelells a complete waist of my time

[Brent Harding]

Yes, the audio leaves a lot to be desired when virtualizing, and I heard on 
some podcast that broadcasters want to start virtualizing. I would imagine the 
setup on the macs isn't set up to support the virtualization support the 
processors have, so you're taking the overhead. One would think 2 out of 4 gigs 
of ram should be enough, Windows 32 bit can't really use much more than 3 
anyways, so it must be in the audio drivers that make it choppy.

 Hi all.
 
 I have been trying with more microphones, if I could use an external

 and then I have the line in. Is there any way I could use the

Re: parelells a complete waist of my time

Weird. My manager uses VMWare with XP and Jaws11 all day and it seems to 
work fine for him on a MacBookPro. Just that initial sluggishness when 
first firing up but then smooth sailing after that. Something else must 
be wrong.

Re: parelells a complete waist of my time

[Brent Harding]

For me, I use SPL and the blindadrenaline games that for sure need windows. 
I don't think there's a mac equivalent to SPL studio that we can use. 
There's nicecast, but to do the voiceover thing requires use of the effects 
panel, which isn't real accessible in audio hijack. How would one do a 
smooth show having to go in and out of there while working with Itunes or 
something to play? I was just looking at my options to still run my show 
when I'd have to be portable, as where I'm at has repercussions in place if 
you cancel too much, and they're coded into the site so no easy way around 
them.

Re: parelells a complete waist of my time

[Brent Harding]

Sure does. For the way I do things, there's little else that can get the job 
done I know of. The DSP chain lets you mute the audio and talk and nobody 
else listening knows that's what I'm doing. The one thing I'd like it to 
have, and maybe it will some day is a secondary wave out so you'd designate 
one sound card for program and one for monitoring, and the mute would mute 
the monitoring one, for those stations that use proprietary encoders that 
there's no Winamp DSP for. I know some want you to use Simplecast, which 
wouldn't work for me either depending on the DSP to make the sound card 
essentially into a monitoring output.

As you discovered VMWare is pretty much the only accessible

beats on the hard drive a good bit so it can take a while to un-sludge 
after starting up, especially if your Mac is trying to access the 
drive at the same time. Also need to check how much RAM you have left. 
My MacBook has 3GB so if I run 1.5GB for VMWare that only leaves 1.5GB 
for the Mac. If the Mac runs out it starts doing 'virtual memory' 
which swaps older chunks of RAM to the hard drive which is orders of 
magnitude slower than real RAM. So, if your Windows virtual machine 
pounds the hard drive and you trigger some virtual memory swapping to 
hard drive you're in for a world of hurt. You might actually be faster 
with that 512MB virtual machine and not triggering memory swapping.

Re: house full of apples, and question about time capsule

[Chris Blouch]

Never say a reply back to your question. The Time Capsule is intended to 
be a storage space for your time machine backups. It also serves as a 
wireless access point and print server. For me, I have an old PowerMac 
G4 in the basement running OSX 10.5 which I dropped an extra drive into 
and use like a time capsule. It's also my print server so my wife can 
print from her laptop via wireless to the printer in the basement which 
doing backups of the same laptop to the extra hard drive via time 
machine. Seems to work pretty well but now I need to upgrade my wireless 
router to 802.11N to get the backups running a bit faster.

That's right. I dare any one of you to go to an Apple Store

Come on. We've all done it. YOu know you want to do it. I do,

tempting to feel like a billionaire for once? Of course, your
dreams will be crushed, but you know, that happens. And if
either one of you people decide to buy it, you're lucky. And if
you do, let me know!

Separator on the dock

[Linda Adams]

Hello everyone,
 
For some reason I don't know, a new item has appeared on the dock,
separator.  I didn't know what it was and when I went to remove it from
the dock using short cut menu (VO shift M) this was not offered. 
 
Is it related to Skype or Magicjack? What makes it appear? what is it?
Should I leave it on the dock? Can I remove it? Nothing happened when I
selected it.  
 
TIA
Linda

 This has been covered before but generally there are three audio signal
 levels: speaker, line and mic. Obviously speakers are high powered while
 line level is the output you typically get from a CD player (not
 headphone) or DVD player. Mic levels are very very tiny. There is a
 diaphragm which vibrates with the sound in the air and moves a tiny coil
 of wire near a magnet, generating a very small electrical signal. All
 this means is that your Mac has a line-in jack expecting line-level
 signals while mics produce something much much smaller. So to use most
 mics with a mac you need something called a pre-amp. Pre-amps take the
 tiny mic signal and, without adding a lot of noise, boost it up a couple
 multiples.

 So if all you want is a mic to skype with you could just go with some
 USB all-in-one. If you want better quality then you'll want to get a
 real mic and a preamp. Something cheap like this:

 http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TubeMP/

 and a basic Shure SM58 would be a good start.

Accessible E-book Reader?

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi,

Is there an accessible app out there that will make some e-book formats 
available? I have tried Sophie, and it doesn't seem to be working for me at 
all, unless I'm doing something wrong. One of my favorite e-book sites is 
Fictionwise, and I'd love to read something from there again.

Thanks,
Teresa

Re: Separator on the dock

[Teresa Cochran]

Hi all,

The separator is a part of the dock that separates your applications
from the data folders. I don't know the exact appearance, but it's a
physical line that makes it easier for sighted folk to note the
various areas of the dock. It's also a handle to move the dock around
with.

HTH,
Teresa

Re: Louis for mac

[Nicolai Svendsen]

Hi,

I don't think there is a reason to bother with making braille tables for the 
Mac to use with VoiceOver right now, if that is what you are thinking. Sadly, 
the braille output routine crashes when attempting to use another braille table 
it seems.

Hi,

That is always there. If it just says something like "Separator" it is 
separating your icons. Icons like folders and applications have a separator

RE: Separator on the dock

[Linda Adams]

I think it showed up after I installed Skype and or Magicjack.  
When I check the short-cut menu (VO-shift-M) I get the following 5
choices:
Turn hiding on
Turn magnification on
Minimize musing (spelled like it sounded)
Dock preferences ellipses
position on screen sub menu
 
On that last one, the sub menu offered 3 items, left, right and bottom
(which was checked) 
 
It doesn't cause me any problems to leave it on the dock but I am trying
to understand what things are on the Mac when I come across them.
 
 
TIA again,
Linda

Re: Separator on the dock

[marie Howarth]

I've just tried this.
With using VO keys I see the separater, with only using the arrow keys I don't 
see it. I think it merely is a separator between the folders and the apps on 
the doc. I'm unsure also of what it is but I think it is a voice over and 
visual related separator if that makes sense?

Re: Separator on the dock

[Teresa Cochran]

Also, the position information that you hear when you use the popup
menu is the position of the dock. It can be on the bottom of the
screen, which is the default position. It can be on the left or right,
as well, Yes, when you have the dock focussed with VO-D you can use
the left and right arrow keys to navigate it it. This is a standard
Mac shortcut. The separator will be ignored when you navigate with the
arrow keys by themselves.

You are so cool for that.  I know I ask a lot of good and a lot of dumb

But, I really appreciate your coming back to answer them.  That's very kind.
Thank you, and to all who do this kind of thing.

  Never say a reply back to your question. The Time Capsule is intended to be a 
storage space for your time machine backups. It also serves as a wireless 
access point and print server. For me, I have an old PowerMac G4 in the 
basement running OSX 10.5 which I dropped an extra drive into and use like a 
time capsule. It's also my print server so my wife can print from her laptop 
via wireless to the printer in the basement which doing backups of the same 
laptop to the extra hard drive via time machine. Seems to work pretty well but 
now I need to upgrade my wireless router to 802.11N to get the backups running 
a bit faster.

Teresa and all,

Your message made me check out something.  With quick nav off, it
doesn't read separator but with quick nav on it does.  That explains why
I hadn't heard it before.  I just started working with quick nav on
Safari.  Mystery totally solved.

Re: Accessible E-book Reader?

[marie Howarth]

Hi guys,
Stanza can definitely be used on the mac Theresa, I use it here quite often. 
Here's the link if that helps.
http://www.lexcycle.com/download-macintosh

Rob, what are you trying to do with the navigation? for reading, I simply 
interact with the html and hit vo-a to read the book to me. Sadly, bookmarks 
don't work so I find I tend to read chapter to chapter. However, I'm pretty 
sure, and correct me if I'm wrong cmd-f works to find words and such we may 
have missed.

I'm afraid I'm not much more help as my brain is currently at mushy stage so 
post questions you may have and I'll try and read and reply tomorrow and I'm 
sure others will be happy to answer while I'm in dreamland.

I hope this helps.

 Hi,
 
 That's right. I dare any one of you to go to an Apple Store online, build 
 your own Mac from the ground up and post the results. The Mac of your 
 dreams. The Mac you've always wanted, but know that you need to be a 
 billionaire to afford. That Mac that would make you almost drool with 
 excitement, but you want to scream from a mountaintop because you can't 
 have it.
 
 Come on. We've all done it. YOu know you want to do it. I do, too. At 
 least, you can live out your dream for a little while, until it is time to 
 click the "Checkout" item. Don't tell me that you aren't curious enough to 
 at least go configure your own mac to your heart's content. What is your 
 goal? A Mac to the price of $17000? Even more than that? Go on. Isn't it 
 just tempting to feel like a billionaire for once? Of course, your dreams 
 will be crushed, but you know, that happens. And if either one of you 
 people decide to buy it, you're lucky. And if you do, let me know!
 
 Warm regards,
 Nic

Yes, it works with VO. Figuring out how to use it is on my list but I've been 
able to enter data and mess around with it.
