I don't use a Mac myself, but I am a very happy owner of an iPhone 4 which also runs VoiceOver. I'm considering buying a Mac as well. I highly recommend you to join the Mac-Access.net mailing list. A lot of knowledgeable and friendly people on that list for sure. To subscribe visit: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/

I need to get a new laptop computer and I have read that the MAC comes with it's own screen reader, that Apple automatically updates it, and there is no fee like JAWS charges for its new software versions. What I don't know is: 1. Is the MAC user friendly for a blind person? 2. Is there scanning software that is compatible with the MAC (I currently use Open Book, but this is not compatible with the MAC. Any and all advice including pros and cons would be greatly appreciated.
