D
arcy and HOlly,
Talk to me if you want to interview me. I have Skype, and so perhaps
we can do one of those Skype confernece thing. I have Skype on the
Mac, so that is what I would use. Warning: Skype for the Mac is
*not* as good as the version for Windows, but you can do *just about
* everything you can with windows, with a few exceptions.
Anyhow, email me off list and we can try and set up a time to do
this. I mean email me so you can get my Skype ID and I yours, or
something.
email is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sorry, folks, if I have inadvertently spammed the list.

Hello everyone. I've been lurking on this list for about a year
now, and have really enjoyed all the discussions that have went
on. I've been both a windows and linux user for a while now, and
I'm happy to say that soon I'll be taking the plunge in to the
world of the Mac. I ordered my Mac Book from the Apple store on
Thursday night, so with luck, I'll have it sometime this week, or
early next week.
My girlfriend Holly has also just purchased a Mac Book. This is
the same Holly who wrote in to the list the other day. Holly and
I have been doing a podcast called the Darcy And Holly Show since
May of Last year. We've now decided to start a new podcast, which
we're calling
The Screenless Switchers Podcast. Neither of us have ever owned a
Mac, so we thought it might be interesting to cronicle our
experiences learning a new screen reader and operating system. At
least, that's going to be the initial focus of the podcast.
Eventually, we hope to expand the show to include things like,
apple and voice over news, interviews with other blind mac users
and developers, product reviews, etc.
This is something we've been planning ever since we saw Jane's
Ibook last February, and got a glimpse of what the Mac and
Voiceover were like.
I'm not sure if listening to Holly and I learn about Voice Over
will be of interest to a lot of you long time Mac Users, but I
hope some of you will check it out. We want the podcast to have a
community feel to it, so we're interested in any feedback we can
get. The feed address for the show is http://feeds.feedburner.com/
screenlessswitchers. Right now, all that's there is a brief pilot
episode, where we discuss our plans for the podcast. I will say
that this pilot isn't as polished as we hope that future shows
will be, but I hope lots of you will check it out anyway.
You can also get it from the shows web site which is http://
www.screenlessswitchers.com. There's not much on that site right
now, but we're planning to build it in to a quite extensive voice
over related resource.
