Hi all,
I joined this group just a couple of days ago, so I thought I should
introduce myself.
I'm Rahul Bajaj, from Nagpur, India.
I'm 17.
I have Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA).
So, I use my MacBook with VoiceOver.
I have a few questions for all VoiceOver users.
Can you suggest some good
Hello,
Awhile ago, someone mentioned that there is a good application that
lets you adjust the temperature thresholds when the fan for a MacBook
kicks in.
For the life of me, I can't remember what it is. Can someone please remind me.
I've noticed that streaming NetFlix is making my MacBook much war
Hi,
Just tried opening the movie vault page with Firefox 6.0, it does not like it.
But, I was able to display the page using Internet Explorer version 8.
I suspect that if enough people found the page inaccessible due to
html code issues, Blind Mice Mart will most likely start getting
emails.

Hi,
I've had the same problems too. I never had this issue with Snow Leopard, so
this is definitely a VoiceOver and Lion thing.
Here is my workaround. You can try this too.
If you don't get the correct menu when pressing VO-Shift-M, then first put the
mouse on the link by pressing VO-CMD-F5.

Hi,
No, you don't need to be a member to use the movie vault page. The movie vault
page is not part of the main site under construction.

The reason Safari and Chrome are not displaying the page is because the

Hi Sean,
My name is Jenny and I'm not very good at the mac. I was wondering if you

Hi Allison,
You can change the default app used to open a given type of file by selecting a
file and using "Get Info" window via the Command-I keyboard shortcut. Here's
how it would work for the example you gave of switching from Amadeus Pro to
iTunes as the default player for m4a files.

The Dragon Dictation accessibility problems started with the release of the
first version that was made available for UK users, but was fixed afterwards.

I agree with you.
Another thing we could use, is the possibility to set up braille to change
