Subject: Re: Experience Switching to Mac

 

Hello.  About ten months ago, I was declared legally blind.  I have been on the 
search for a full diagnosis and prognosis since.  No luck.

In December, when my Windows 7 machine became totally unstable, and had been 
reformatted three times in less than a month, I bought a  Mac.  I figured, if I 
had to learn a screen reader, it was best to do so on one where the screen 
reader came built in.

So far, no luck learning how to use the screen reader though.  I can turn on 
and off.  That's about it.  I have a 40 page list of random commands, and can't 
figure out what any of the are supposed to do.  A dictionary would help.  
Perhaps the lines above or below that don't make sense are supposed to tell me 
what they do?  

I used to be a web designer, and I thought a screen reader should be easy to 
learn to use.  After all, I'm good with with computers.  

I'm also horrible with foreign languages, and figured braille would be 
impossible to learn.  I started the first contracted braille book I'm reading 
last night.  I started learning braille last November.

I still use a Windows 7 computer at night.  It takes about 15 minutes to turn 
on, and every scroll of the screen takes forever.  I don't count on it for 
anything.

Hi,

As I have said, I am thinking about switching to the Mac and have been trying 
to gather more information about it.  To that end, I have been asking specific 
questions.  I will continue to do that but I would like some general feedback 
from people who have made the switch from Windows to the Mac.  Why did you 
switch In the first place?  Having switched, do you feel that it was the right 
choice for you?  Do any of you regret having switched or have you even gone 
back to the PC?

Thanks,

Scott Duck
