If you're setting on the e-mail itself from the person, then command shift y it's also in the apple menu under message I believe. If you don't have an existing e-mail, try setting up a new message, and typing the e-mail in the to field, then try the command shift y If that doesn't work then do

Hello all. As you know, I am researching the possibility of getting a mac in the future. This may not happen until a few months or more, but still, I want to ask a question. How would I go about connecting to wifi networks? I was able to connect to my Sky wifi with no problems on both the

I have had no need to use anything else but Preview, and reading has been easy with this, but on the Mac you are spoilt for choice with PDF reading. There are several programs available. So much so that PDF, which is a real pain on the Windows side is a very reasonable format on the Mac side. Of

I plugged a cable into my Ethernet port and it just connected. Before I used the cable a Wi Fi wizard came up asking for my password and again this was pretty seamless. Not everything on the Mac is straightforward but some things are a joy. I plugged in my printer and the Mac instantly recognised

well, not trying to start an argument but will say to me PDF files on the Windows side is very easy to use to read files and convert files from a picture file to text with it OCR built in. I would think it would be the same for the Mac if Vo support Adobe Reader ! But don't know since Apple does

Interesting Daniel, I am hearing impaired as well and it appears I can understand Alex very well. Of course speech synthesis is very subjective, so what may suit one may not necessarily suit the other. On 15/01/2012 15:09, Daniel McGee wrote: Chris a useful resource that I recommend checking

You can either hit cmd y or control click either from or 2 in the headers section and click add to address book. I can't remember which one brings up the dialogue from which you can edit but both methods work. On Jan 15, 2012, at 2:22 AM, Margaret Booth wrote: Can someone please tell me

Indeed Chris, for the most part I find Alex nice to listen to but now and then I get a word that he doesn't pronounce promptly. Where as eloquence just seems more natural sounding in saying words correctly. Chris I am curious since you have and I device which voice do you use for it. See when

Yeah you do. I would give the hq voices a try in the mac side of things. I wish there were a way to uninstall the hq voices you don't use though. Take care. On Jan 15, 2012, at 12:33 PM, william lomas wrote: you get the high quality voices now in IOS On Jan 15, 2012, at 8:28 PM, Daniel

eloquence is no where as clear a alex. I can't believe someone may think that. Eloquence to me is so computer sounding and unreal. On Jan 15, 2012, at 2:28 PM, Daniel McGee wrote: Indeed Chris, for the most part I find Alex nice to listen to but now and then I get a word that he doesn't

I prefer Eloquence to the more human sounding synths, as they perform better at faster rates, and it allows me some privacy, as most sighted folks don't learn to understand the speech at a faster rate. Glenn - Original Message - From: michael maslo mmaslo1...@swbell.net To: Mac OSX
