Hi, So, if I'm understanding this, in theory I could use this program, put Windows XP on my Mac (A risky proposition for sure!!!) and then run Jaws as the screen reader? The only reason I would attempt this is to accomplish some of those functions I'm having problems with related to the online classes I take and working with Excel documents? This could be interesting. I would suspect though that doing this could make your Mac itself siseptible to viruses and the damage they cause. Like I said, a risky idea doing this.
