In March of 2010, almost a year ago, Adobe posted a blog announcing that the
next "major" release of Flash Player will, "...enable
accessibility across all three major operating systems (Windows, Mac, and
Linux)." . Apparently the next major release will be Flash 11, or

The following suggestions came from a December 2010 thread on the Mac-Access

suggestions for UK Users, and I have no idea if the

You might consider joining the viphone mailing list if you haven't already done
so. It's another google group with some of the same members and mods as this

Just to clarify -- Are you saying that if we have the xcode tools on our Mac we
can plug any App from the App Store into the Accessibility Verifier and get

Hi Donna,
According to Apple, the one thing to beware of is the wattage of the mag-safe

wattage levels: 85, 60 and 45. They say it is OK to use an adapter rated at a
higher wattage but not one rated at a lower wattag
