Exactly why I am not upgraidng from Mountain Lion to Mavericks as I
too am just starting to learn to use the Mac. It makes no sense to
change something in midstream. There is no need to confuse new Mac users
is there? Time enough later on when the user has acquired decent skills
with the OS currently in use.

I always think it's better to learn on the latest OS as that's what will be on
any new Mac. Things have changed quite a lot since Snow Leopard and the new
Pages is very different from the old version. VO commands have changed and
there are more of them. I can't remember whether Quick Nav existed back then,
but it has also evolved since its beginnings.
Language support has improved out of all recognition which is something I
really appreciate as I use two languages all the time.
I'm sure that Activities weren't in Snow Leopard, either.
Cheers,

I know. Unfortunately, it is a school Macbook, and even if it supports 10.9,
the upgrade is controlled by the school. I could tell the TVI to suggest an
upgrade, but the student is low-vision and only just getting used to using
Voiceover. I'd hate to change the interface she is just starting to become
familiar with and have her move backward. She will never need to be a VO power
user; she uses it more as a crutch when print is too small or she loses the
mouse. She could be more efficient with it than she can with the vision she
has, but making her see that isn't my job. :D So unless there are big
advantages to upgrading in terms of low vision/VO (and there may well be - I
only really started using a Mac with 10.8) upgrading might hurt at this point.
Then again, it might be a great idea which should really help, I really don't
know. Any thoughts on this?

Why is the student using 10.6.8? Snow Leopard really is going back a bit in
terms of accessibility.
