Hi,
Depending on your keyboard, you may have to press Command-FN-F5. Try
Command-F5, and if that doesn't work, try again adding the FN key. A

It's also possible you won't need to turn VoiceOver on at all. When I

JP,
There is a voice command thing that allows you to speak the number you
wish to dial. You should try this before you make up your mind.

I am assuming you want to use the caps lock key to run the orca screen

To do this, go into your VM and using orca, look under the system

Dear all,

I believe that what you're seeing here is that they're trying to make up for
the grave error they made with the Mac without in fact quite admitting they
were wrong. You have to read between the lines a bit, but this is what I

In Windows you have your screen reader running on both computers and
run the remote desktop client which allows you to login as if you were
sitting at the remote console.

I think your right rich, however, their attempt to do this is rather
sad since it would be easier to just admit that they are human like
the rest of us, that an error was made, and then not repeat this. That
certainly would have gone some ways to repairing damaged credibility.

Hello everyone,
I need an accessible statistics software package, if not for the Mac, then for

Thanks very much
And it's probably not going to work because if you use MacOSX, they don't
make JFW for it. That's the one downer to RDP is that JFW is needed at both
