Pete, no problem, really. We use the Office suite at work and that is
the one item I haven't been able to replace so can't fully move to
the Mac at work.
tnx

Pete, I'd still like to know how you have managed to use any of
the Microsoft Office programs. I have not found any means to deal
with them. Do you have some vision? If you know a trick, please
share, I really could benefit from this information.
tnx

Hi Ryan,
Don't mean to intrude here, but you could have used Microsoft
Office for Mac, it contains Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and a few
other programs.
I love my Mac, but i will admit, some programs and utilities are
easier to find in the windows world, but even so, i'm hanging
with my Mac.

Blindtech, you seem to think that the Mac is the perfect
computer that can replace PC's for everything, so let me ask you
a question. What accessible spreadsheet is there for the Mac?
I'm taking an advanced statistics class and I had to use Excel
for a few assignments. Therefore, I had to use my Windows
laptop for that. That is, unless I'm off base and there is an
accessible alternative for the Mac. If so, please enlighten
me. If not, I rest my case. You really shouldn't get defensive
every time somebody doesn't want to use your computer of choice.

My business registered in the state of arizona, The BlindTechs
Network is a business which teaches blind persons how to use their
computers, I do support and training, and system installs. This is
why I take this so serious.

Sorry. I'm not buying it. Gabe. You have called in to many
internet
radio stations and you come across exactly the same way as you
did
in your emails. So unfortunately, that doesn't fly. I make my
living off macs too, as a singer/songwriter/producer, and I
too am
waiting around for the accessibility to get better with Vo.
Riddle
me this. Why can't we use Garage band, Pro Tools, Logic, Q Bass,
etc? Why the hell am I stuck in O S 9 with P T 5.2.1, while my
sighted counterparts are at 7? Is that accessibility? I should
say
not. So yes. In a sense, those of us who make a living using our
macs are indeed waiting around for Vo accessibility to improve.
