I'm doing the same thing. I'm going to wait, hear people's opinions, hopefully listen to some demonstration podcasts and things of that nature. Also, I don't know if it will be possible to buy a physical disc in a store, but if that does become an option in a couple of weeks or months, I might wa

Press command tab twice. That should do the trick. Then, your up and down arrows should work just like they do in your main timeline. Good luck, and I hope this helps. -Original Message- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of james wal

I think it would be lots more practicle to have a cute little USB or bluetooth Braille keyboard. If there were such a device, assuming it was affordible, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I just can't imagine pressing multiple typing keys to make the braille letters. My hands wouldn't do that. But a

Thanks for this. I installed CCC a couple of weeks ago, but haven't actually tried to use it yet. I'm sure I'll be checking it out before Lion happens; am especially hoping that using something like CCC will preserve my app preferences for Adium and things of that nature. I have a little external

Hi there. If memory serves, you need to go to the voice-over utility with vo F8. I believe it's under verbosity. There are 4 tabs, and hints is the last one. If you need more specific instructions, let me know, and I'll try to give you clearer instructions. Good luck, and I hope this helps! Missy

Very well said. The only thing I'd like to add is that the thing I like best about qwitter is that it runs in the background; you can just use it where-ever you are on the computer without having to alt-tab to it first. So, if you're writing a document, or playing a game for example, you can just
