I also love my Mac and still use it for some things, but one of the reasons why I came back to Windows was because of the lack of games available for the Mac. While it is true I could have used Bootcamp on my Mac, I personally didn’t feel comfortable about doing this. Time and again I was reading the news about new audio games and a lot of the time I was bitterly disappointed because they weren’t available for the Mac. David

And recently there have been some games developed for the mac. Do I wish there were more? Of course, but there are more games now than there were when I first got my mac.

The primary reason is that you seem to be able to get the best of all worlds. In adition to running MacOS, you can run Windows via Bootcamp. It won't surprise me if you can run Linux as well. Another reason is music software. I don't know the current status of MIDI/Digitil Audio stuff on Windows nowadays. The old version of Sonar Cakewalk/Caketalking is aparantely a little unstable under Windows 10. I heard of some othe rpackage called Samplitude, although I don't know much more about it apart from the name. Music on the Mac, on the other hand, seems to be a totally different story when it comes to screen reader accessibility, even though it aparently have had its ups and downs too.

Mice (mouses? mice? that just sounds weird!) were unusable by the blind at the time when I was taught computers, hence the reason I could never really play Swamp or RailRacer, let alone think about complete system navigation with it. Not only that but my coordination and spatial awareness isn't all that great. If I can't use a touchscreen then I've no chance of using a mouse. Cheers.

Now, mac on the command line interface, that's a different operating system and needs study.

I know a lot of people who are Mac lovers, and they are certainly well advertised. But for those who are brought up and taught around Windows, learning a whole new operating system is like learning how to live on another planet. You may as well lose your legs, get wooden ones and learn how to walk all over again. I had to sell my Mac because I couldn't figure for the life of me how to use it. Cheers.
