I don't know if they'll give you any actual special treatment because
you're blind but there are plenty of resources out there such as
Applevis, and there is an email list called Mac visionaries. I use
Windows 7 and will soon upgrade to 10 so I've no plans to switch o a
mac. Far far far too expensive for me especially when I can get a
kick-ass windows machine at half the price, and NVDA is free.

Hi Devon and Hamit.
I've always wanted to check out a mac computer but because ive been so
brainwashed in Microsoft, I didn't have the self confidence to try it
out for myself.
What I was thinking was to keep my old Windows machine active for my
mail and so on, but the Mac could sit alone in another room and if I
spend some time each day, then I should be able to grasp the basic?
eh? Especially if I joined a blind mac list.
One thing I have already found out that my Imac Store, which is in
glasgow, will spend up to an hour with a new customer in the shop.
Perhaps they may be interessted in offering me a little more start-up
time, given my blindness? Worth checking out eh?
Thanks for your ideas guys. For the meantime, I'm going to check out
everything I can on the Imac Retina on the webpage.
Thanks again.
Andy.

Apple has a getting started guide, right when you turn on a new Mac.
Just wait a minute or two then follow the spoken instructions.

An IMac as in the Apple computer? If so there are Mac lists and stuff

you'd have to listen to a lot of podcasts and stuff because you must

now learn Mac OS. If I'm understanding the question correctly. I had
learned
Mac OS but I've gotten Rusty.

Hi all.
I love everything audio concerning my computer. I've music, described
movies and talking books and I use programmes such as Goldwave to record
streaming music. I also love burning the odd CD for a friend and
recently,
I've purchased a Zoom H6 digital recorder for even more interesting
audio
work.
Many of my friends, who are not blind are telling me to buy the new Imac
Retina and plug that into my AV and sound system.
Any members use Imac for this sort ofstuff and is there any support
for a
new comer like myself about.
Any advice would be very much appriciated.
Very best wishes.
Andy.
