[Macpartners] Strange OS 10.4.2 Behavior

[Alexandra Ellwood]

Do you have your sound turned off?  The screenshots look like you  
have accidentally turned on VoiceOver, Tiger's screen reader for  
visually impaired users.

VoiceOver can be turned on and off with Command-F5 (the easiest way  
to accidentally turn it on).  You can also use the VoiceOver settings  
pane in System Preferences -> Universal Access.
