I agree, Rod. If an iPad or Mac can do everything one wants then it's
certainly a viable option. And that's the only point I'm trying to

i have heard and read this argument before. It may have held some water in
the past, but not today. For one thing, most of us already have a computer,

if things are still the same apple can read a windows formatted drive if you

For me at least, the expense of a new PC plus the expense of having to
switch to JAWS if WE goes under, might very well equal or exceed the expense
of a new Mac.

am obligated to use Windows at work at the radio station. I must admit

its the big expense

Hi Tony:
I am not pulling the plug on Window-eyes just yet. It works well for
me, and when it doesn't, I have played with JAWS enough to know that
it seems to have improved from years ago. The only thing is that I
do not feel justified in paying all that money for JAWS when NVDA is
free and
WE is not dead yet. It still works great for me and they still respond to a
support question, although this is not as good as it used to be.

Remember that VoiceOver for iOS and VoiceOver for the Mac are two different

You are comparing windows screen readers with the ios platform, very
different fish. I would try the Mac before you buy, there is a 14 day

Well, I started with Vocal-Eyes back in the good ol' DOS days, and have
been with them ever since. I have a Mac, but my problem is corporate
world uses Microsoft products, and the Office stuff for the Mac isn't
accessible enough for my taste.--Matthew Chao
