Hi Robert,
How do you perform a control click? I've been looking for the answer this
week. I now have ways to get around it but the actual control click using
voice over still is a little mystery. How do you do it?

Subject: some general question
I realize that some or even all of these questions may have been covered on
this list already, but as I am the recent recipient of a Macbook Pro, I have
come across a few things to which I would like some answers conveniently
placed in one message:
1. How do context menus work on the mac? So far, I have been routing mouse
to VO cursor and pressing CTRL+click. Is there a shortcut for this?
2. How do I get Voiceover to read the entire row of a table without first
navigating to it and pressing VO+r? The reason for this is I would like all
Mail message information spoken rather than just the date or subject line;
and I would like it to do so without excessive arrowing.
3. DOes there exist a way to quickly check status items such as the
date/time without first pressing ctrl+F8 and arrowing around the "extras"?
This isn't really a huge deal, I'm just wondering.
So far this computer is working out great and I am very satisfied. I have my
Ohio State University mail set up and it uses Exchange (which is awesome).
Could someone explain the process of "mounting" a hardware device? I know
this refers to connecting and making available a hardware device, but what
exactly is going on when such is happening?
Finally, as I am new to the Mac OsX platform, what are some suggested
programs in which I may consider investing time/money (word processors,
spreadsheets, general computer maintenance programs, archivers, audio
converters, anything of interest)?
So far I have had one day with my Mac and, although I still must rely on my
dell for important work while I learn the platform, I can easily envision
myself straying further and further from WIndows as time progresses. I am
glad this list exists, as it is a definitive and helpful community regarding
Apple accessibility in general and contains a wealth of information on such.
I appreciate every one of you willing to contribute and I hope to one day do
the same:)
Sincerely,
RObert Hooper
