Hum, Well, the victor stream and booksense both work on the mack. Braillesense works. Braille note apex works as a braille terminal. I haven't tested file transfering capabilities. I haven't tested packmate, but so far that looks to me like more than 10% of notetaking devices right there, more like 50 percent between compatible and non. Then add the braille display support with read/write. Not everything works beautifully, but then it doesn't do that under windows either. Your vr might want to do a little more research.
On the other hand, it's much easier to justify the mac for a student if the student is in a mac school. If the school is all outfitted with windows and all the classes are geared to windows, then it doesn't follow that a mac won't work, it just seems to make it easier on the student and their teachers and support people to be using windows like everyone else in the class. And before the uproar hits, I know just as many die hard mac users blind and sighted who got there in this exact way. Their school used macs, so they used macs and never dealt with windows.
