Well, frankly, if I wanted to run windows, I'll use a windows machine.  I 
didn't buy this Mac book pro to run windows.  To me, that's no answer.

Yes, I have seen this from Amazon before and the only work around is to use:

www.amazon.com/access

Even then, I'm still not sure to what extent that works.

Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray

Still a happy Mac, Verizon Wireless iPhone 6+ and Apple TV user!

Sent from my Mac,
the only computer with full accessibility for the blind built-in
