Christopher, ghz mean nothing. Clock rate hasn’t mattered in processors since
probably the early to mid 90s. What would be a more meaningful number are
flops or some other real measure of work done but the oscillation rate of the

It won’t be, nothing changes you do things as you always have. At some point,
your computer just won’t receive any more updates. The operating system will
eventually not be compatible because it’s to new. Sort of the standard way of
things happening.

What? And this is only running at the very least a 1.1 GHZ intel M3 processor?
That sounds *real* slow to me.

Hi,
It's OK to express concern, it's OK to wonder, but people need to realize that
these decisions are not made without accessibility in mind. If a change is
made such as the removal of the F-keys, then there will just be different
keystrokes to accomplish task that originally required those F

Well you know what? Found out through the VoiceOver Getting Started Guide that
as part of the new and changed key commands set for VoiceOver under macOS
Sierra, VO-- (hyphen) will decrease the system volume and vo-= (equals) will
increase the system volume. Actually, I will correct this by sayin
Apple will almost certainly be forced to add yet another keystroke for
doing what now is the direct press of a function key, volume for example.
This is because when you cram multiple levels of function into a touch bar
there has to be a way to choose among levels.

Probably similar to the way touch screens are handled now under voice over.
You’ll probably flick or touch near the spot. Maybe there will be some sort of
tactile indicator. I can’t wait to try one out.

Hi,
I get the concerns about this, but I would just remind everyone that there were
a lot of very similar discussions when the early iPhones became popular. I
remember lots of folks saying that blind people would never be able to use a
touch phone as easily as we can use a phone with a tactile
I care about access to the function keys in general and not just what currently
happens when one presses Command F5. I use the function keys for adjusting
screen brightness and volume, etc. I wonder how all the other items currently
available via the function keys will be handled?

There we go,
Triple-tapping power sounds like the most consistent and logical way to go.
Holding command down and tapping the touch bar also sounds okay, but not like
something apple would do.
