Re: As unreliable as Windows
I found it went faster, about 30 mins, when I did a clean install. It's sort of more accessible. I mean they improved the internet quite a lot. But I would argue that finder and iTunes were more better integrated with voiceover under leopard. They really let cursor tracking get all mucked up. Oh well, I was more prepared for this transfering from leopard to snow leopard than I was going from tiger to leopard. It's just that things change when apple does upgrades. I guess there are things that get added like braille that make the system ultimately a step forward, but then they go and break things that worked really well in the prior system which leaves one wondering if it is really a step forward. I guess ultimately it might be a step forward. I like the new antonio voice in the castellian spanish package from acapela.

Re: As unreliable as Windows
Amen to that. I was just commenting on the fact that the time and percentage were weird just like Windows. I mean, I can install it by myself. that's great. - Original Message - From: Mike Arrigo n0...@charter.net To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Sent: Saturday, August 29, 2009 11:18 PM Subject: Re: As unreliable as Windows I found that around 42 percent, it really sped up quite a bit.

Re: As unreliable as Windows
Yeah. I am getting around to playing with the settings too and it is working better for me. It's just weird having to go through this process of adjusting the way I use my computer with each update. Have you tried navigating in iTunes in the browser and songs table without quicknav turned on? That's when it doesn't work. It's weird. The vo cursor tracks the system cursor but the system cursor does not track VO. On top of that the system cursor in iTunes does not read items. So if you deactivate quicknav and navigate with the system cursor that is why it is silent. Activate quicknav and navigate with vo cursor, and it works better, though has been sluggish with me. But like I said, with the fact that the vo cursor does not track the system cursor, if you want to jump to an item in the browser by typing the first letters of it, the system cursor goes to it and leaves the vo cursor behind, making it look like you didn't move anywhere if you arrow up and down to check where you are. I'm adjusting Justin El Aug 30, 2009, a las 3:46 AM, Marie Howarth escribió: Justin, what you finding different about finder and itunes? maybe I'm missing something here. once I played around with some of the settings in VO, everything worked great, if not better.
