Hi. Oh outspoken was a fantastic screen reader. My first computer was a Mac 2SI which was a great little box for my needs at the time. I used that through high school and have fond memories of it. that reminds me. I haven't used claris works since 1999. I wonder what ever happened to that package/company...
Unfortunetly, I had to become a windows convert when I started college but that is another story. Anyways, that old Mac 2SI was more stable than any windows machine I owned that's for sure.

This is, indeed, a fun topic! I am a complete Apple enthusiast, and I wasn't fully aware of all that the older macs could do until this thread! :) Do you guys remember the old Apple 2E computer? With the floppy disks? I had one of those until middle school, reluctantlyy moved to windows for a while, and eagerly jumped back to the mac when my PC died and leopard came out. I seem to remember playing with outspoken a few times at school, but I had no idea it was capable of so much until recently. Thanks, Karen, for posting. I couldn't agree with you more about Apple's innovation and how Apple really reaches out to all consumers!

Indeed I chose to maintain older mac structures since it was what I required to get the job done at a desired level, meaning I could provide my various audiences with quality storytelling. > Therefore to me, there is nothing outdated about this technology, no more than say the above mentioned Roles. > However, this is me, and what I define as tool need not be the same for you. I raised eyebrows at Cameron's" open doors for us," idea because this suggest that everyone here uses technology just the same, that they experience things as a one size fits all fashion, and for the same reasons. Our very discussion illustrates this is not true, and frankly I respect you too much as an individual, respect everyone too much to deny them their unique needs and tastes by thinking you have to do things the way I do them, smiles.
