Hello Ricardo,
I've searched through macvisionaries archives for the link to your apple to the
core episode 1 talking about accessing the status bar. The link gives a 404
page.
Have you got it stashed somewhere else?
Thanks, and best

A good point. I guess I mean that, now that it is here, it is a
feature that will quickly become a staple; if something is
inaccessible, you can now ocr it and usually end up making it
