Hi,
There is no need to defrag a Mac. The Mac does its own optimizing in the
middle of the night, on the weekend and another one once a moth. Just don't
turn off the computer and it will do everything by itself. It doesn't hurt to
go into Disk Utility and do a Repair Disk Permissions once

Hello all
I just made the switch from windows to Mac; a good thing. I use tract
changes a lot in my work. How can I still use tract changes on my mac?
Does VoiceOver read these tract changes in e.g. MS word or an
equivalent on the mac? Please, if anybody knows I really can use some
help by now.
Hello Hendrik,
Tracking changes is complicated in Pages on the Mac. I'm currently trying to
find an acceptable way of handling this. The changes can be examined using
VoiceOver, but it's a tedious business. My husband is looking at creating an
applescript to help with this, but what we thought

All macs, except for the macbook air have a built in DVD burner, so that won't
be an issue. There are several different language voices from acapela, not sure
if they would include the languages you need. The printer should work fine, not
totally sure about the scanner though. You can also run

Some people use vuscan and abbie fine reader either just one or both depending

Hi Everyone,
I just got my Mac today and I have about a million questions. But the one I
guess I'll start with is why don't the function keys do what they are
supposed to do?
I remember reading something about how they have hardware functions, but how
do I get them to perform software functions
Hi:
The function keys at the top of the keyboard are set by default to control
things like brightness and volume. When using voiceover, the function keys are
often employed to perform software related tasks. Therefore, it is recommended
that VO users change the setting to have them do

Check the option to use the function keys for normal software functions, then

Hi. I don't know about the DS50, but I have a DM520 and it works beautifully,
at least using it as a standard drive. I don't know about the software that
comes with it, I just use Finder, the program for navigating files, the Mac

You can use iTunes to listen to internet radio. This is an option in the
sources list of iTunes and once you are in the Songs table, you can use VO-\
