Hi Cait,

Focus bue should be alright on a mac if you use that platform.  It works on 
window-eyes but with very limitted functionality.  If using window-eyes you 
would be better off with a brailliant BI or a Braille Edge.  If using NVDA, it 
has native support for focus blue and brailliant BI, but I don't know about the 
brailleedge.

If you have specific questions about compatibility you can email me off list 
and I'll find out.

Best,

Erik Burggraaf
