Many of you have asked us for a series of short tutorials on using the Mac with VoiceOver. When we became aware of a series of instructional podcasts from Vision Australia on this very topic, we quickly realized that we needed to share them with our Main Menu listeners. After this week's Tech Update from Chase Crispin, I visit with David Woodbridge about Vision Australia's podcasts and about using the Mac in general. After that, we bring you the first installment of the series which explains how to get VoiceOver running on any Mac. Finally, Blind Bargains shows us two portable magnifiers from Clarity.
