Hi, My next computer purchase will be a Mac. I stopped using Jaws back in
2003 and used Window eyes till forced to revert to Jaws. I don't like the
company assoiated with it.

Subject: Has anyone ever considered using the Apple Mac?
Hi all,
I don't know about you, but I am just getting tired of it and want a
complete change. I am tired of having to change screen readers every so
often. I am tired of continually having to learn new and so called improved
Windows programs and Windows updates. I am tired of wondering, worrying and
waiting for the next change and inevitable scramble to keep up by the blind
in the computer world.
So now, I am considering taking a leap of what ever you care to call it and
try using an Apple laptop, specifically, the Mac Book Air. I know there is a
steep learning curve, but I must say that there is a lot of support
available.
For example, every Apple store is supposed to have on site training on all
Apple devices for people with disabilities, including blind people. I know
that the store here in Louisville has such training.
The Apple Care for people with disabilities is available over the phone 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. That is more than there regular Apple Care.
The Apple Mac has a built in screen reader with different voices at no extra
cost installed on each device they make. There is also a short tutorial for
how to use Voice Over, the Apple voice and it's software, also at no extra
cost, included on each device.
I know that it has nothing to do with how it works, but the outer case of
the laptop is metal and has an apple, complete with 2 leaves and a bite
taken from the apple, as the logo which I can touch easily.
Has anyone else thought about using, or has used an Apple mac laptop? If so
what did or do you think about the Mac?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Paulette
