I tried open office and neo office about a month ago and it didn't
work at that time.

refused to acknowledge that the windows had any content.

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.
