These are my personal notes volume 03
Some of these things I have copied from the Apple Website, or the list. Most of these things I have tried and found them to work. I have used the notes to learn what I know about the MAC and Voiceover., so they are not in order, they are just my notes
I really hope that they will help you as they have helped me.
