off topic: accessibility with mac stuff?

[John G. Heim]

This is not a complaint about the OT thread. In fact, I'm kind of glad it 
came up. I work at the University of Wisconsin  in the Math department. The 
department gave me a Macintosh to take home with the idea that I'd learn 
how to use VoiceOver.  never having used a Mac before, I am having a real 
hard time just getting started.

Is there a blind Mac  users list? How about just a general Mac users list?
