To anyone interested in W/E and the Mac, There was a very good discussion on the ATMaine Show yesterday, Wednesday. You may wish to go to <<atmaine.com> and listen directly to or download the archive located on the ATMaine show Page. You may also wish to subscribe to the ATMaine podcast. There's a lot of good info and discussion on this site, run by Steven M. Sawczyn, proprietor and trainer of Assistive Technology Of Maine. There is not only Boot Camp, but the Mac has a virtual Windows mode, and it is my understanding that any screen reader can be launched within that mode, making the Mac act like a Windows machine.
Steve is one of a number of people now using the Mac, and I'm sure he would be glad to give you any info you may need about the Mac as it relates to Windows and existing Windows screen readers. His contact info appears on the opening page of his site. Hope this helps.

Hi Bob, I don't know much about the mac, but I understand it comes with something called boot camp, and what this does is to enable you to run either the mac operating system, or windows, and the mac operating system has voice over, the screen reader for the mac. As to whether or not boot camp is accessible or not, I don't know, but you could try going to Leo Laport's tech guy labs site at http://www.techguylabs.com and see if you can find out any more details regarding boot camp.
