Hi everyone.
Well good news was to be had this morning with the arrival of the M1 Mac mini.
As the review I posted stated, the looks between the old and the new machines
are striking though its obvious when you look round the back that the new
machine has less ports than the old, the review covers this topic in detail.
So I plugged in and switched on prepared to press command-f5 and hear VoiceOver
welcome me? Not on your life, what I did get was a keyboard tone which is an
indication that I’ve pressed a wrong key.
I tried other combinations including Fn-Command-F5 but no joy there so decided
to go and do some Google searching which I’ll get to in a moment.
I’m sure I heard the Mac mini say something though not quite sure what it was
but when I came back and pressed command-F5 VoiceOver started up, oh joy!
That joy was short lived however because I couldn’t get connected to my Wi-Fi
so I went to the start of the wizard and lost Voiceover again, couldn’t
reenable it.
So that’s where I am at the moment and an appropriate time to relate a few
changes in the installation process I’ve thus far observed.
When I got VoiceOver finally started up the first dialogue that appeared was
the select country table, all usual there.
The next was interesting as several screens appeared 1 after the other which
offered the user to enable or disable a lot of accessibility functions of the
machine including VoiceOver, naturally I made sure VoiceOver was enabled
<smile>.
I’ll give it all another try later on today.
