Most of the jaws using population will never have Stevie Wunder's income
levels either so Jaws upgrades and Window-Eyes upgrades don't always
happen quickly or sometimes at all. People tend to have more important
things on which to spend money like mortgage payments or rent. Funding
from state or other agencies doesn't continue for life, so jaws tends to
be only what you use on work time and use of itunes on work time can be
frowned upon unless you're in the music business.

Paul,
I just wanted to say, as it's a popular miss conception, I've got no issues
using iTunes on a PC with JAWS. your comments, and many others were right in
the old days.
days when we needed things like jTunes and things like that.
but using JAWS 11 and iTunes 9 or preferably 10, there's no issues at all.
having used iTunes on a Mac with Voice Over and on a PC with jaws. both
experiences were just fine, no difference whatsoever, and both sync quite
happily with either OutLook on a PC or iCal and Mail on a mac.
people make these comments without trying things on the latest
configurations, and it makes others think that what they wish to do won't
work. or that they'll have a lesser experience.
it will and does so without an issue.
I would say that there are other areas where the Mac shines through such as
stability and performance of Voice Over and the fact that Voice Over uses
very little system resources. but this old card of iTunes is brought up time
and time again, and its just plain old nonsense.

Subject: Screen Readers on the Mac
Hello Heather. I would encourage you to start working with vo right away.
Reading is ok but doing is great. You really don't need another screen
reader on the mac because VO is part of the OS. Any other screen reader in
Windows is a compromise at best. I'm not saying that Windows Accessibility
is bad and that the screen readers don't work well. I am saying that VO
generally works better and the overall solution is more cost effective.
Think of it this way. ITunes is available for Windows and the MAC. There is
no comkparison, ITunes works much much much better on the MAC. Synching with
the IPhone is perfect. Any contact or calendar event I add on the mac synchs
flawlessly because the whole system is designed to work together. This is
true for VO on the Mac.
I hope you have a nice day. Since we're both in Austin, maybe we can get
together and work with our macs.

Subject: Re: Apple's event next wednesday
I like vo but I was wondering if apple will allow other screenreader
programs to opperate on the mac. I was just thinking about this because, I
have jaws and NVDA on my windows computer. So when jaws is giving me grief,
I can switch to NVDA which usually tells me what jaws won't or when jaws is
stuck. I like plan b if plan a does not work. Heather
