I’m not sure I agree with that statement now. Certainly the late 2012 Mac Mini is a truly outstanding machine, I have one of corus but the later models have been cheapened and are far less powerful, this could be an issue if you’re doing any heavy audio work. > On 22 Mar 2016, at 10:06 AM,

RE: Thinking seriously on an Imac rather than a new Windows 10

Perhaps but you must understand that learning about Mac OS and VoiceOver is only the beginning. If you had no experience with windows, you would accept that the awkward way things are done in MAC OS is normal but with a little experience of windows you will find yourself trying to work out the

VLC can but Mac computers - to my knowledge - don't come wiht compatible drives, certainly the one I'm using doesn't so I bought an external Samsung, one of the best drives around at the moment by the way. On 22/03/2016 7:30 AM, Devin Prater wrote: Can't VLC handle blueray? Sent from my

Re: Thinking seriously on an Imac rather than a new Windows 10

I use my Mac Mini for audio work pretty much all of the time and there's no doubt about it, the Mac is far more flexible than a Windows machine when it comes to audio work. That's not the fault of Windows by the way, its just the way things are. To put it bluntly when you're dealing with

You're welcome dude. Yeah I'd love an IMac. They are epic. Like I said too I use to know how to use 1. But as I didn't end up getting 1 I got rusty. The things that held me back are that at the time in 07 I was in school still. So who knows how usefull it could have been. Next and this 1 still

Hi, Honestly Mac computers are pretty cool and often relatively more stable then windows pcs. But VoiceOver is far from being as complex as for example Jaws, so it relies more on apps being VoiceOver compatible. And it took quite a lot of time before a reasonable scanner application got available

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

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

An IMac as in the Apple computer? If so there are Mac lists and stuff but you'd have to listen to a lot of podcasts and stuff because you must then now learn Mac OS. If I'm understanding the question correctly. I had learned Mac OS but I've gotten Rusty. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio

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
