Black Boxes on my Mac
People I don't think it's good news, but can anyone tell me what it means or what I need to do when....
black box outlines start appearing around all the icons on your Mac?

The Mac itself is a Powermac G4, and she's been extremely good to me. Is this the end my friend?

If a black outline (or box) unexpectedly appears around a file, folder, icon, button, or other item when you click it, VoiceOver is probably enabled.

If you don't want VoiceOver on, turn it off in the Universal Access preference pane, or by pressing Command-F5 (or Fn-Command-F5 if you have an iBook or PowerBook).
