Jeff,
I will admit that navigating Web pages with Safari on the Mac is unlike anything you've ever seen with any Windows screen reader. If you're used to using Safari on the iPhone, the process is similar as left/right arrow navigates by ... not line by line but kind of like what window-eyes refers to a as a "clip" or block of text. Up and down arrow keys navigates by whatever you set the rotor to, so if you set the rotor to "links" then down arrow moves to the next link, not the next line.
Left and up together or right and down arrow together adjusts the rotor, similar to the twist on iOS touchscreens.
I just heard from one of my twitter contacts that the next version of OSX will allow you to navigate a Web page similarly to the way it's done in windows, so try to hang on until around September. Until then, left/right arrows moves sequentially through a Web page.

I am just wondering how though to navigate from say the hard drive to external storage devices the easiest? Also, moving around on the web was a little tricky, but I think that I am getting the hang of that as well. Any information or pointers would be helpful and thanks in advance.
