I thought it was just me with the restarting. But yes, I'm seeing this more as well and it's very annoying. The volume will go up and VoiceOver will restart. Thanks for the info on the names. Btw, if you type in Apple II Forever in youtube you'll find a really cool video and then the one after it is kind of funny. It's a description of the first Apples but at the time it was made, the II C was modern, so you'll hear things like the mouse being new and the wave of the future and how the idea of putting in an external disk drive was new. There are other cool videos too. We should make a list for blind retrocomputer users.
I really really wanna see if I can get on the net with my II GS and that program from APH. But I probably need a shell account (which I've always wanted) to do that and an Apple-compatible modem. Wonder if I can boot it up in the Macbook under VMware and find a way to convince it I'm on the net through dialup? I just wanna see how it reads pages.
