You want an honest answer, then I will give you one. In my opinion,
Leopard is most certainly worth upgrading too. I've seen significant
improvements and I do not for even a minute regret upgrading. Is
Leopard perfect, no, but when you consider where Apple was with Tiger
and where they are with Leopard, it shows that Apple is very much
committed to accessibility and it shows. And lets not neglect to
mention that for the cost of the upgrade at $129 or even a family pack
at $199, you are paying a small price in some cases just to update a
windows-based screen reader. Also, for that upgrade, you are getting
more than an upgrade for features etc. of the screen reader, you are
getting a vast number of feature enhancements, new features, of the os
and applications.

Hi all,
As stated in previous posts I've not yet upgraded to Leopard.
Rather, I've been watching the list to see what kind of report you
all would give it. Unless I've missed something there hasn't been
such a post, so I'm going to ask a straight-forward question or two.
1. Do you find a vast improvement in the new OS?
2. If so, is that improvement in stability, accessibility, or
interaction and functionality?
3. Are there disadvantages to Leopard?
4. Is there not enough significant change to warrant an upgrade
right now?
I understand Mac loyalty for those of us who are die-hard long-time
users,, as well as appreciation for the VoiceOver team and all
they've done and are doing; however, honesty is honesty and I would
really appreciate some "where the rubber meets the road" answers,
please.
There's been some reviews by folk who don't use VoiceOver, but do
use the Mac, that give it a thumbs-down, saying that Apple released
it too soon and that one should wait for the next upgrade. There's
a lot said about its beauty and such, but that isn't my focus. I'm
just not wanting to trade the accessibility and functionality I
already have for something less or more frustrating.
Thanks for any input you would like to give,
Cheryl E.
