Shawn Sent From My White MacBook From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of April Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2014 4:52 AM To: [email protected] 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.

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?
