Hi Larry,
I have to concur with David. I found the transition from Windows to the
Mac much easier than learning Windows in the beginning. I would also say
three weeks or a month will be required of daily use to really get yourself
up to speed. Just remember to try to put aside your Windows screen reader
mindset.

Larry,
It is interesting that you found jaws easier to learn. I did not. I am
however a windows user by orientation so I approached vo like windows and it
was fairly simple to migrate. Yes, three weeks or so it may take till you
crack the barrier butt after that, it's pretty much all down hill.

Hi,
I went with the iMac G5. Its quite the machine for sure. I ccan
tell though that I will be working for quite some time to figure all
of this out. While I'm getting the hang of VO in some areas. I can
say initially that gettting comfortable with Jaws a few years back
seeemeed easier. Howeveer, I am sure I will get this with time if I
can keep from getting to frustraited. I've had two instances already
where I was thinkking of returning this. I will hang with it though.
