I switched most stuff over to my mac, because you don't have to set
the op different. VoiceOver will run no matter how you have the op
configured. Being built into the op lets it recover from speech crash
just by turning it off and back on. no rebooting!
Also here is the big plus. When the op is upgraded so is VoiceOver.
So you get op and screen reader for around $30 a lot cheaper for
something that works.

Why would anyone run JAWS on a Mac when it already comes with its
own screen reader? All I keep hearing is how wonderful Boice Over
is, so running JAWS on a Mac wouldn't seem to make any sense. I was
under the impression that most Mac users switched because they were
unhappy with Windows and JAWS.

You can run Windows on a mac using VMWare or other programs like it and thus
run Jaws on it. I think some people on these lists actually do that, so
maybe they can give you some input on how the process, performance, etc
works.

No. The bad news is that there is no jaws for mac. The good news is
that any recent version of the mac operating system already comes
with the screenreader for mac tied into the operating system. This
native Mac Screenreader is Called Voiceover and has becomeq quite
good. Google for "Voiceover" and you should find plenty of
information for you and your colleague. Also, I am sure that there is
a voiceover email support group out there but I do not know
subscriptioninformation. Again I refer you to our friend Google.

Please do not crucify me via cyberspace but a colleague called me a
couple of minutes to ask whether Freedom Scientific has a JFW
program that will work on the Mac. Hope to hear from you soon.
