Every second or third time I boot up, I hear voiceover say “application”. At that point nothing’s in the boiceover cursor. My only recourse seems to be to hold the power button ’til it clicks off. When I reboot, all’s well. I suspect the problem is that some damn notification has come up, & I don’t know how to deal with it. System preferences doesn’t seem to have a way to turn this off. What can I do about this annoyance? Thanksin advance.************ You are subscribed to the mac4theblind mailing list.
