hey deedra, Apple was beta testing VoiceOver before tiger came out. Since nobody really did anything to make OS X accessible, having given up at the small user base, Apple decided to take matters into their own hands. IMO, the accessibility features in OS X are fantastic, but only because there's nothing to compare it to - a little is better than nothing. A lot of the features like magnification work well, but VoiceOver is still clearly beta and limited and is not all too great if you're using a non-Apple application. However, it's most definately more usable than Microsoft Narrator and the likes. Apple's Accessibility team did a good job with starting, here's to hoping they make it more advanced and less buggy than it is right now. Cheers j
