Thought I put my two penny's worth in! I lecture Music Technology at the Royal National College the Blind (Will, will know me).
Boot Camp couldn't have come at such a good time. At the moment I'm fighting with Caketalking and Sonar 5 and ultimately want to switch from our current set of PC to Mac's, that won't happen fully until Pro Tools and the like come across to our way of thinking. In the mean time with boot camp we can know slowly move over without the cost of the totally Blind being left out. This is perfect. Apple isn't stupid they know what they're doing, and I know the Mac, both Hardware and Software is safe in their Hands.

(why do I feel so unclean ?)It runs fast, very fast but I will have to see how well it continues to go. I have even experienced the ultimate windows experience, managed to get it to blue screen when I tried to access the inbuilt camera (I do these silly things as I am sighted) I must say though at first impression things seem to be running really well (for windows that is) The dual booting startup may be a problem though, I couldnt get it to speak (not a surprise really as there is no OS loaded at that point) so picking the startup drive in system preferences and rebooting may be the only viable option. I believe this will convince a great many users, sighted and vision impaired to risk the move to Apple, which can only be a good thing, after all once the users experience OSX i doubt they will want to run XP if it can be avoided. I for one will be scrapping my Windows PC at home now. Iain Murray (B.Eng)(Hons) MIEEE Course Co-ordinator - Bachelor of Technology (Computer Systems & Networking) C.I.
