Hello,
I wanted to respond to Anne that with the newer versions of jaws you
also get the realspeak solo voices for free. I have to admit though that
it is a lot easier to change system languages with the mac then with

If I'm not mistaken, control-left_arrow brings up Dashboard. I also sometimes
have a hard time getting out of it. The 2 finger scrub gesture will sometimes

close it. None of it seems consistent though. :)

Let's explain that step by step so you don't get lost.

os10 will mount it as if it were a normal volume. In other words, just like
when you insert a cd, it gets mounted as an icon on your desktop that you can
Hi Eric,
Don't worry about the version of fusion. You can update any time by going into
the menu bar, vo m, then one vo right arrow to the fusion menu, then vo down to
check for updates. That should give you the latest and lion compatible version.
I'm running it just fine.
Regarding the vmware
Hi Eric. If your rescue disk comes from the dog that's inside the Lion install
application bundle, then yes that will work.

Good afternoon all,
Does anyone know how to go to "home" on the iPhone using a wireless
keyboard? Specifically, the full-sized Apple wrieless keyboard that I also
use with my Mac Mini? I can't figure out the proper command to take me out
of an app and back to the home page.

Hi Traci!
Well I only set up my shortcut using the open application option in the

But I should think if you delete that script and just remove the [I] shortcut
you'll be OK!
Then of course you can use [I] for something else!

Wow, let's hope, by me opening up iTunes the traditional way, this won't

More than likely, when you are doing option-I, it is recognizing the

Once you open the message, vo+left arrow until you hear Voiceover announce

Hi,
I would say, go for fusion, not parallells. Parallels is not as accessible to
voiceover as fusion. Under fusion, you won't need any sighted assistance to get

Hi,
I'd just like to add, if you are using a macbook turning on screen curtain does
not conserve battery life. If this is your main goal as well as privacy dim
your screen to 0% by pressing function plus F1. To brighten press function
plus F2. at 0% your screen will be completely off.

You can also switch it on and off via VO HH, the commands help menu
under general commands.
I haven't found that screen curtain affects VO. I keep it switched on
on my iPhone, but usually only put it on my MBP if I'm in a meeting
and don't want my neighbour to see what I'm writing:)
