Hi Kirsten.
I've only had my Mac Book Pro since July 17, so I'll see how many of your
questions I can answer. I'll leave the harder ones to those who know more than

Hi,
Thanks for the help with voices. I will try Serena for the day and see how much
she annoys me. I'm surprised how used to Alex I've become in 24 hours. When I
listened to the Samantha sample yesterday I wasn't impressed, but since it's
free, I might try her out over the weekend too and then
Hey Kirsten.
When I have some more time, I'll some more. However, I would like to add to
what Shawn said, something I discovered recently. If you do VO plus command
