Mike, I totally agree about JAWS. That's not the first article that
has had bad comments regarding VoiceOver, would be interested to know
what he couldn't access as well

I certainly have no regrets about buying a mac. I do agree that Jaws
is Junk, I do use windows at work, and I do have a PC, but window
eyes rules for that. I've never liked Jaws by Freedom Science
Fiction.Apple should be commended for including a screen reader in
their operating system, and yet we have articles like this that say
voice over does not provide nearly the access that you have in
windows. It's interesting that the article does not go in to detail
about what supposedly he can't access.

Subject: Re: comments on voice over
This pisses me off so much because the rat brained people have
never purchased a Mac, went into a Apple store or tested one for
more than five minutes. I'm glad for people on these list because
I asked three questions and with those responses I brought a Mac
without touching one and mastered it. It does everything I need
want, and would like to do in the future. Tell them to blog about
the wasted money in JAWS upgrades. $200 for three features to
something that should have ben free. I can't wait for the day when
Voice Over is kicking there ass up and down the street with a bull
horn screaming you piece of crashing, useless crap of a bloated
screen reader. I said this without reading the defamatory article.

Hi all. I'm not sure if anyone reads the access world magazine,
produced by American foundation for the blind, but the newest
issue has an article that mentions voice over. The article is
about digital music players. In the article, the writer mentions
using the mac, and says that voice over does not provide nearly
the accessibility blind people are used to on windows computers.
I personally disagree, and I've only had my mac for about two and
a half weeks. If anyone is interested, here is the link for the
article.
