Hi
Well, the windows on your Mac would be seceptable to viruses, but the
Mac itself wouldn't be as long as you keep the Windows directory
isolated from the rest of the system.

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.

Hi
With regard to running Windows on the Mac, you need Virtual PC, which
is a Microsoft product that costs $79.99 to do this. My copy is on
the way, since I'm a sucker for experimenting with emulators and I've
heard that screen readers can run under it, since it basically runs a
copy of Windows XP--or whatever X86-based operating system you want
to put on it. I use window-eyes, not jaws, but the idea is the same
and I'll let the list know how it performs when I get my vpc CD.

Hi guys
4. They think that depending on my major (presently to be either
Law, History, or Spanish), graduate programs may require special
software only usable
with windows. They brought up statistics as an example. If I were
to go into administration as a vocation, I would probably have to
take statistics classes.
