Hi,
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be in programming or networking.
I'm trying to get my teaching credentials in a few years, so I'm
not sure what kind of computer to get in the future.

I think that the biggest difference you'll have is a slight
learning curve using VoiceOver as opposed to Jaws or other
Windows screenreaders. I myself, am not the one to ask, but do
invite others with hands on both sides to give you more details.
As for compatibility with things like blackboard and Word, again,
I'm not sure, as I worked in Electronic publishing in school, and
most of our machines were macs, and I'm more of a Zoom user than
a VO user, except when my eyes fatigue. If you're going into
programming or networking, I feel the mac is a nice choice
because you have BSD Unix built right in, and if need be, can
work directly from the terminal.

Hi,
I can't answer most of your questions as I am a novice at the
mac myself, but I will tell you that you will like it once you
get the hang of it.
The only thing I really know how to do is some e-mail and some
safari stuff. I wish you the best and I hope you like it as much
as I do.

Hi,
Well, I'm going to college, and I would need to do a lot of
wordprocessing on my computer. I want a computer that will last
long and not get viruses. I don't mind the learning curve,
because I love a challenge. I just need a computer that will do
at least most of what Windows can do. I'm not familiar with how
Macs work. I've had a few minutes to try OfoiceOver, but it was
the little thing on the computer that shows you how to use voice
over.

Hi, Jasmine,
Welcome to the list. Well, your question opens a huge can of
worms. Where do you want to start? What do you want to do with
your computer. If you're used to using Windows, are there
applications that you simply need to use in Windows? Keep in mind
that you can use Windows on a Mac with some frequency once you
set it up. The Mac is extremely accessible, but also extremely
different from Windows, and involves quite a learning curve. If
you're up for an adventure in learning a new screen-reader and
operating system, then you'll have fun switching. I pretty much
jumped right in, with the help of a book, from OReilly media,
Switching to the Mac.
Take care,
Teresa

Dear Listers,
My name is Jasmine, and I am extremely new to the list.
I was wondering if anyone could please tell me what differences
they find in the Mac computers vs Windows computers? I'm trying
to figure out which type of computer I would like to get next.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Jasmine
