Hi all, I bought my Mac in 2009, and while I still use Windows for three specific functions that are not accesible on the MAc, I will give anyone who wants to do podcasts comparing v o to Jaws or any other Windows screen reader a word of advice. Give yourself at least two months with the Mac

Hi, I'm indeed not using windows now. I bought my mac recently. Can you name certain things you couldn't do on the mac? I am searching for an easy way to record skypecalls. I looked at callrecorder, but it is not as accessible as i'd like it to be. I can not hear if something is recorded or

Last time I saw a comparison between Windows and Mac the comparison was screwed in a very bias way, the presenters had no idea of how to navigate the Mac, what shortcuts could be used and so on so it wasn't so much as a comparison of Windows and Mac, more of a Windows is better than Mac because

I don't like comparing Windows with Mac personally but I think you'll find that windows users are still struggling with the task of recording Skype Calls as their's no easy out-of-the-box solution for that one whereas with the Mac? Well the purchase of one piece of software and the writing of a

Honestly, this is really common sense advice for using any product you intend on comparing or reviewing in a podcast. I find it completely unprofessional and disgraceful when someone attempts to review or compare products when they clearly have no lengthy familiarity or knowledge of what

Yes the point is taken and I've been doing that however there's no question that Apple Scripts can certainly enhance the recording of Skype calls ad I ask you to reference the examples given earlier this week by other list members, just to summaries here, an Apple Script can start Audio Hijack

Howdy John and good to see you firmly in the saddle smile. Your points as per usual are well made but even worse than that are those people who compare let's say apples and oranges however they don't know everything about the fruit they're comparing but think they do if you get my drift smile.

The other part of it is when one does put out a podcast or an article that clearly rings of lack of knowledge, it not only discredits the author/authors, but, as in the case of the AFB when VoiceOver was released, it reflects on the publication itself. People naturally assume that there

As someone who has been an accessibility products trainer, I'm of the opinion that a podcast or tutorial is a form of training session. It would no more be good practice to present a podcast about material you are unfamiliar with than it would be to teach someone a product you have very little
