Kitties and babies are quite trying when it comes to computers. :)
Someone a while ago mentioned that he had abought a program for his
Mac for his three-year-old or younger kid to play with, When you
pounded onthe keys shapes and things happened. What is this program
called, what exactly does it do, how badly will it interfere with VO,
and where can you get it, and how much does it cost?

I've been using my Imac for over 3 years. The only problem I've
ever had with it was keyboards. That's not an Apple problem. It's
a certain black cat that lives here who would stand on the
keyboard. If she wasn't a good mouser, well, she would have been
in a lot more trouble. Now when I leave the machine regardless of
what it's doing, I put the keyboard in a place where if she thinks
about standing on it or walking on it, it isn't going to ballance
her and she's going to get to test whether she will land feet
first, but the keyboard itself will not fall. Kitty diving board.

Cheryl,
The main advantage to an iMac over a Mini is performance. The
speed difference is considerable. The primary reason you have
those options for displays is for multi-media applications such as
iMovieHD which of course is not very useful for people who are
blind. I also believe that an iMac will be useful longer than a
Mini as its power and speed will outlast that of a Mini. The only
advantage I see to a 20 inch display over the 17 inch one is for
those multi-media situations. We have some iMacs at our school
and the individuals using them are extremely impressed. It is
considerably more expensive, although once you add keyboard, mouse
and display, it's really not that much more. Hope that was the
sort of thing you were looking for.
