Recently I went to a bible study at the home of a lady I didn't know very well. She had just gotten a Mac three days before and was having difficulty understanding how to access the applications she wanted to use. She took me to see her Mac and I turned on voiceover and showed her how to access her applications and explained about the dock and the finder. It was very cool to be able to go to someone's house and access their computer without needing extra software or a thumb drive or anything.
