Dear Mac Friends, I 100% agree with Jess on this post. I love being able to walk into a store and play with Macs Iphones and Ipod Touches. Everyone who has an Apple Macintosh I tell them about Voiceover. I am planning on like many of you getting another Mac in the future. With me planning on going into education this will be a wonderful way to go! I have made lots of friend ships closer because when I talk with my sighted friends about the Mac they and I can talk about Voiceover and I don't have to go into a long explanation of what it is. I was at a party once, and I was having a conversation with someone about the Mac. They knew what Voiceover was and had played with it before. It was a wonderful conversation. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. See you in January. Blessings, Ben King On Dec 22, 2009, at 9:46 AM, Jess wrote:
