Hello all you good looking Mac Users! I just purchased an IMAC and am slowly transferring all my PC material over to it while learning the software. I am a long-time Jaws and Kurzweil user. Although Jaws is the Cadillac of screen readers I decided to switch simply on principle. I came to despise Freedom Scientific for wanting more and more money from me every year. I am enjoying the Mac but find I still need to use this PC until I get used to the Mail program. I am finding Voice Over a bit clunky but I am sure I will get used to it. I really need Apple to make Voice Over work with the Microsoft Office suite as everyone I work with uses Word.
Many years ago I purchased a handy device, called a Roadrunner. It holds 3 Mb of plain text and I purchased it to study for university exams. It has since become obsolete but I am so familiar with it I still use it to read text files when on the road and giving talks or presentations. The Roadrunner uses a 9-pin female connector to plug into the computer. How can I use the Roadrunner with my Mac? Is there such a thing as an adaptor I can use to plug the connector into a USB port? Or, should I be looking for a cable I can plug into the Roadrunner and into the computer's USB port? Or, does anyone know of a similar type of device I can use instead of the Roadrunner? A basic digital recorder is not the answer for me. The device needs more flexibility than a recorder. I look forward to the day when I am a dedicated Mac user. Thank you for any help. I have already benefitted greatly from reading over messages in this list. Randy Fred Nanaimo BC Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED]
