Theirs a quickstart guide when you buy the mack for voice over, and that will get you set up straight away.

take a look at www.blindcooltech.com for podcasts on using a mac with voice over.

There's also www.icanworkthisthing.com and under Mac with VoiceOVer you will find much information and various guides for software posted.

also if you get snow leopard which is the newest version, the quick start is a heck of a lot more comprehensive. if you get a mac that's probably what will come on it now

snow leopard probably won't be pre-installed on any mac's until january. Apple is however, including the upgrade DVD with each new mac purchased at no additional cost, and of course this update can be installed by a blind user. Great podcast of someone doing so over at blindcooltech.
