-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 I didn't get a lot of time to really get down and use Voice Over heavily but I did give Itunes a try. Forget it! Itunes was quieter than a church mouse! I understand applications have to be built in Coco framework in order for Voice Over to work. Itunes and the ports of Microsoft Office are in Carbon; I was told that Carbon apps just flat don't work in Voice Over.

I think you might be surprised at how much you can do with it. - -- HolmesGrown Solutions The best solutions for the best price! http://ld.net/?holmesgrown -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEL5mgWSjv55S0LfERA3FfAJ0R6Ue8TWie8EDeidoFdBORXsZJ+QCfahU+ zwlPhrhiMU9DXWi6fubcNLU= =Njcl -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
