I have turned off the Mac and then turned it on again but to no avail. Will try

I saw it in the manual. Although the keyboard help feature is nice, not all

Hi folks,
When I bought my Mac mini recently, I purchased a bluetooth keyboard with it,
because it was the best keyboard they had in the store, in terms of the over

it would be possible to take this keyboard into ano
Hi Les,
Yes, I do read braille, and I saw that about the braille manual from the
Lighthouse. It looked like that was referring to the Leopard manual, but
perhaps I misunderstood.

Wireless headphones are available at BestBuy etc. for a pretty little money.
Your keyboard, though, only has about 30 feet of range and I'm uncertain about

Hi Mary,
Actually, it's Using VO with either Leopard or SnowLeopard. I much prefer
braille and refer to it often now that I have it.

Hi Chris,
Yes, I know about wireless headphones. I worked using headphones for 8 hours a
day for 30 years, so I try to avoid them when possible. It could be a
cheap way to find out just how far the keyboard will work reliably, though. 30
feet might do what I want.

For about $300 you could go with this which starts with a 1km antenna
but you can get optional antennas for up to 30km range.

Well you certainly could use a bluetooth headset, which would work reasonably
well if your not to far from the source. You also could for about $100 purchase
an AirPort Express and purchase a program such as Airfoil from Rogue Omeeba and

by booting off the installer DVD. That said, I'm not as clear on what

Hi Mary, well it looks like peeps have already suggested the bluetooth
headset idea, but have you considered a simple FM transmitter?
You can find very low-cost transmitters that should have no trouble

I use the item chooser a whole lot. I also use vo/left and right arrows and

Occasionally I use the web rodor, but not that much.

I have an example for this, though it is for moving files to folders, but when
you get into automator you can change the paremeters to make it a mail
attachement to folder.
