Hello Mark
Thank you very much for your reply. It is such a comfort to know that
someone else in the world understands what I am going through.
I applaude you on your use of JAWS. I have tried to use it in the past

The macbook Pro has a track pad, thus, no keystrokes required to use
Voiceover. If you have an iPhone/iPod/iPad, and use voiceover on there, you
will be fine. Whenever I come in contact and have to use a Mac, that's my
way of dealing with my unfamiliarity with VO.
Warm regards,

You need to change the metadata in the track's info. Press Command-I on the
given track and change the track number and the track count.
for example, 1 of 20, 2 of 20, 3 of 20 and so on.
Usually, when I import an audio book, I change the info for all of the tracks I
import. This keeps the boo

The trackpad commander can only get you so far. For just basic navigation you

Thanks Zach. We did indeed reinstall Snow Leopard as well. It might have
helped with busy signals I was getting across the board in basically every

getting pretty old. Thanks.
