awesome. The more people who write the better. I just installed
mobile speak, but had to use a friends PC to do it.

Hi, Scott and all. A couple of days ago, I sent a message to Code
Factory. I realize that I am late in getting to this thread, but
below is the message as I wrote it. Thanks, and I trust this will
prove helpful in some way, or at least, I hope it will.
Hello, friends at Code Factory. Over the past few years, the
Macintosh platform has become much more accessible to persons who
are blind or vision-impaired. It has evolved to the point that a
great many of us blind Mac users no longer use Windows on a daily
basis. I do understand that there are virtual machines that we can
use on our Macs to give us Windows, but we absolutely do not want to
do this. I am of the understanding that your products can be made
available in .cab files, but this is not the optimal way of
installing them, as it does require the presence of the screen
reader to already be on the phone. I can tell you with great
certainty that the number of blind Mac users is growing, and
unfortunately for them, including myself in that list, your products
have become very hard indeed to install. Is it not, therefore,
reasonable to ask that Code Factory take the time to adapt their
products to the Mac platform as well as the Windows platform? I
really don't think this would be too difficult, and it would make
our lives as Mac users much easier. We love your products, and we
tell people about them everywhere we go. I can't imagine my life
without MSP, but alas, it is becoming a very serious pain to
install, as I and others do not use Windows regularly, if at all.
If it wasn't for having to install your products on my system, I
would delete the virtual machine that I have set up to run Windows
XP. A few years ago, it would not have been acceptable or advisable
for you all to focus a little attention on the Macintosh platform,
but now, more and more blind people are switching, and we need our
Code Factory products to be available for installation on our chosen
platform. Thank you very much for reading this, and I do hope this
message is sent to wherever it needs to be sent to. I want the word
to be spread far and wide that Mac users are here to stay, and we
desperately need an installer for Code Factory's product. If I can
assist in any way, please let me know. Thanks for your indulgence,
here, and I appreciate you reading this one. I wish you all the
very best from Central Alabama, USA!
