If I were you, I'd come at this from a purely financial standpoint. If they purchase you a windows machine, they are going to have to pay for the computer system, plus jaws or window eyes, plus any sma's you might need. For basically somewhere around $600, you can have a mac mini with voiceover and tiger that costs less. There is open office, which works as well as Word, and there are probably things that work for doing stats as well that I'm not aware of.
You're the consumer, don't let them kick you around. They are *serving* you, not being your custodian. I don't think jaws nor win xp will run on a mac. Caitlyn
