Hi all,
There is a little known, but very useful feature in VoiceOver on the Mac called
hotspots. Want to know what they are, and how you use them? My podcast will
explain everything you need to know about them. I should get the link to it to
the list by the end of the day today. Take care all.
This is a known issue and will be addressed.

Hello,

Eric,
Do you leave your Mac on for long periods of time? Do you use sleep more than
shutdown? Do you have one or more VMs using a lot of RAM? I wonder if this is
some kind of memory leak problem, in VO or somewhere else in SL
Hi!
DOes anyone use multitracking in Amadeus Pro?
I have figured some of the basics out but I am still new to this area.

Hi Andre:
I really haven't had that issue show up, and I mostly use sleep mode for my

how frustrating it would be. And, I hope the accessibility team and the
development engineers can ferret out thecause.

You aren't doing anything wrong. The link should go dimmed which means you
can't press it anymore. When the app finishes downloading, it'll appear in your
dock.

I am attempting to use 1Password on the Mac. I downloaded it and my unarchiver
