Okay, now I'm confused. I said it *does* work, but not the QT input. Just in case I turned out to be wrong, I connected it to check - nope, still as before, the Mac is no different than, say, Window-Eyes or NVDA or System Access or BRLTTY or Hal or Orca ... in short, the problem is the driver to display interaction for everything except JAWS, which is the only screen reader that had special considerations for QT users, since HumanWare did not correctly regress-test and ended up breaking everything else when implementing their new QT input functionality. Even the iPhone - the iPhone! - is affected. Quite simply, QT input is utterly borked, and only the thumb keys and routing buttons work. In any case, yes, take your Apex to the Apple store and try it for yourself. You need only plug it in after selecting USB client mode for your terminal connection, and you're away.
