Hi all,

You should be fine with a good firewall and properly configured software. I ran
a mail server for a long time on the same box as everything else and what
you're doing is probably less annoying to configure than that. Just make sure

Holy wow. This thread is turning into a gigantic piss fest. Maybe we should all
just wait until Apple announces something, whenever they announce it. If they
do indeed still give us function keys, everybody can go back to being a nice

Tim, well said, only other thing I’d add is remember that Apple hires blind

So I wouldn’t do this unless it’s a dedicated machine. You can do things to

That’s like saying you don’t like something with out trying it. That’s a

Unfortunately for your position around touchscreens, they are much simpler to

Could be that, could be a tactile marking above F5, could be any number of
ways. Unless you’re thinking that the bar won’t be divided up into segments
that replace the function keys?
One question though—where are you hearing these rumors?

With all due respect, sir, there WAS a significant amount of negativity in this

Goodness, Cara. Bless your heart. I appreciate you stepping up and saying
something. I know I contributed to a small degree, but I assure you I tried

What do you mean? I don't follow your logic, no pun intended. Sorry bout that.

Accessibility is steller on their web site. So much so, that when I wrote them
to commend them, they told me flat out that they were 100% commited to
following W3C standard, and following all accessibility guidelines.
Thanks guys. I went ahead and signed up with them a couple hours ago, and I
have to agree that it's been quite easy. The only problem was that my card
wasn't accepted because they don't support that bank, but VO didn't detect the
popup displaying the problem so I had to open a ticket with them.
Wonderful! Glad you got set up. Watch how quick they respond to your ticket!
I think you'll be incredibly impressed.
