Re: introduction and more questions
Dear Rhonda, My name is Ben King. I have been using the Mac for a year and love it! What helped me start learning a Mac were wonderful podcasts like the Screenlesswitchers. By listening to these podcasts I learned about the Apple OS. Lioncourt.com helped me out a great deal as well. The Mac Cast and the Mac Review Cast are wonderful as well. They speak about the Apple Culture and you get to hear from other Mac lovers. Finally, the Maccessibility podcast is excellent! I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day.

Re: Introduction and Newby Questions
Dear Donna, My name is Ben King. I have been using the Mac for a year and love it! The Apple Macintosh laptops have accessibility out of the box. I was able to set mine up and start using it right away. The new Mac Book Pros and Mac Books have multi touch track pads. I switched from Jaws as well. I love my Apple and will not be going back to windows any time soon. You have Iwork which has a spread sheet application which is accessible with Voiceover. Have a wonderful evening.

Re: We better keep this going!
Dear Mac Friends, I 100% agree with Jess on this post. I love being able to walk into a store and play with Macs Iphones and Ipod Touches. Everyone who has an Apple Macintosh I tell them about Voiceover. I am planning on like many of you getting another Mac in the future. With me planning on going into education this will be a wonderful way to go! I have made lots of friend ships closer because when I talk with my sighted friends about the Mac they and I can talk about Voiceover and I don't have to go into a long explanation of what it is. I was at a party once, and I was having a conversation with someone about the Mac. They knew what Voiceover was and had played with it before. It was a wonderful conversation. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. See you in January. Blessings, Ben King On Dec 22, 2009, at 9:46 AM, Jess wrote: > Hi folks, > > Well, I'm getting the IPhone 3 GS today.

Re: ipad: how to enable new touch typing feature
Dear John, You put two fingers on the iPad and rotate them until you come to typing mode. You flick down with two fingers and when you hear touch typing you double tap to select it. It will stay in Touch Typing Mode until you go back to typing mode and change it back to the traditional way of typing. I hope this helps.

Re: IPad question # 2: find feature in Ibooks?

Re: accessworld article reading weird?

Re: wonderful news about apple care
Dear Jenny, Thank you for your email. I agree with you completely. Macs are the best! Voiceover rocks! I am trying to win my Mom over to the Mac side as well and I think I have her there. If I had say in what computers went in my house, they would be all Mac! I hope everything is going well.

Re: college, video game music, and the mac?
On May Dear Arthur, My name is Ben King. I love my Mac quite a bit. I would suggest using IWork for your office application. As far as music programs go I am not sure. Some podcasts that have helped me out are the Screenlessswitchers podcast, the new Mac accessibility podcast on Lioncourt.com and the Mac Review Cast. I hope this helps.

very nice experience at University Village Apple Store in Seattle Washington
Dear Mac Friends, I am writing you to let you know about an experience I had today at the University Village Apple Store in Seattle Washington. The person that I spoke to was very nice and he asked me what I would like to see improved in regards to Voiceover. I told him that Fire Fox would be nice with Voiceover support as well as maybe an accessible I Phone. Anyway, it was extremely nice for me to go into an Apple Store and play with main stream technology. I love Voiceover as well as the Mac. I hope you all have a nice evening.

a suggestion for Garry
Dear Mac Friends, I have a suggestion for Gary, he should listen to the Screenlessswitchers podcast 28 which covers Iwork. I listened to it for a second time and it should answer his questions.
