In my personal expierance using terminal, it can be buggy at times.
Sometimes, although it's supposed to, it doesn't read the terminal
window automatticly, and since there are not any accessible mud
clients for the mac yet, which I'm kind of frustrated at, I've been
trying to connect through telnet. Of course, there are mud clients
that use Apple's system voice, which you can't control the speech of,
so in games like Aardwolf and especially Miriani you're gonna be
having an extremely hard time on figuring out what's going on.
Since I don't and actually never have, used Tiger, I can't answer any
of your other questions. I could guess on one though. Linux Stability
is with us.

Hello. I have some questions about Leopard and mac accessibility in
general, and hope that my questions can be answered. I am currently on
windows, and have tried just about everything Linux-wise. My questions
are below:
1. How well does the terminal read? Is it suitable for a person such
as
myself that spend the majority of their time in a terminal, using
applications
such as irssi, mutt and edbrowse?
2. How stable is the operating system? Does the unix stability
transfer
over to us? I know that on windows, JAWS is one of the causes of a
horribly unstable system.
3. How well does the virtualization of windows, e.g. in VMware or
parallels, work audio wise? Does the audio have a significant latency
factor such as that found in VMWare on windows or linux due to alsa?
I'm
guessing this may have improved due to the one audio architecture on
the
mac compared to the dozens of sound cards that the others must
support.
4. I'm a big fan of programs such as Autohotkey and winamp that have
global hotkey support, so that I can control them from within any
application that I have open. Is such a thing possible on the mac?
5. How well does Leopard's new web browsing work? Has it improved much
over Tiger, and if so how good are the results?
If I think of any more questions, I'll post them. This should give
me a
good head start on whether it's worth it or not to consider this - I'm
getting annoyed by the constant windows problems.
Thanks in advance,
Tyler
