Hi David and everyone else:
I think I could do most things on a Mac that I need to do so far, especially
referring to such a busy list and you guys are, but I'm wondering is Text
Editor can convert files to Microsoft word and if there is a good scanning
program out there that would let me scan and read my printed material. I
have Kurzweil 1000 and use it a lot. Those are my only "problems" right
now. I just want to surf the net, read and answer my mail, write up my
documents and save them in the format that is required, and read my
electronic books. Oh, and I might like to burn the occasional CD.
Debra

sadly, at least with jaws, the only thing you can access with safari is
the
menus.
Of what problems do you speak?

Subject: Safari on my PC
Hi guys:
I still don't have a Mac, mostly because I can't afford it, but mainly
because there still seems to be problems. Because I need Quicktime to
hear
some things on the internet, I've been allowing Apple to download stuff
onto
my Windows XP Pc. Of course I can't use Quicktime, but if something needs
it, it's there. Just a while ago, it downloaded Safari. Out of
curiosity,
I wondered if any of it was accessible to any of the screenreaders I have
to
hand-Window-eyes, NVDA, or System Access to go. Interestingly enough, I
can
read the menus and even go to a web page, but it won't read the page.
I'm
assuming that sighted ones can use Safari on a Windows PC? Humm, I wish
I
could get Apple to donate some Mac Minis with Leopard to po' folks like
me!
(smile) My version of Window-eyes is 4.5 which shows you how far behind
I
am. Thank goodness for the free ones that are up-to-date. I've got to
hunt down the "dualing" screenreaders.
Debra
P.s. For those of you that like to do these things, there's an
alternative for Microsoft Word called Atlantis Nova. It's the first word
processor I've ever downloaded that makes noise! They are kind of cute,
but you'd probably want to turn them off after a while.
