Hi CARA and all! Well I'm fine Cara, thanks! What about ya? Was wondering why you were so quiet on the list for so long, glad to see you made it back!!! Feel free to send me a msg off list as well if ya wanna. Well, I just listened to Kevin's demonstration of installing Apple OS 10 Leopard on his Mack Book which I'd certainly want to have. Well I must say I am impressed!!! Really IMPRESSED!!! Good job Steefe Jobs! :-) Implementing a screen reader directly into the os plus the installation (!!!) is really, really great. And the sounds in the screen reader are really helpful I think. When you focus a line or progress bar, Voice Over will play a click or read out what's going on whereas if you focus a line of text with Jaws Jaws won't do anything when the text changes which is really bad and annoying. Now implement a scripting language into Voice Over and I'll throw my Windows comp out the Window! Thanks for all the info, the only thing is that now I probably won't order any audio games for years now because I have to save money for a MAC Book, sorry devs! Lol Robin
