[Hidden-tech] weird OS "glitches"

[Tom / Reelife Productions]

BINGO!  Thank YOU Dave.  I just turned on voice over and it went away...You
learn something new everyday. That just saved a whole bunch of frustration
.....


THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...and thank you hidden tech---i knew it
couldn't be a virus-hah!
(now I just gotta find out who turned  on "Voice Over" on my computer- might
have been me...after reading all those hidden-tech emails about using voice
technology...who knows!)
