Mac's in-built screen reader is an accessibility eye-wash? look at these links: http://www.apple.com/accessibility/voiceover/
http://www.afb.org/afbpress/Pub.asp?DocID=aw090603#content Again, making generalizations without any backing what so ever. I don't even know if you have used Mac. Of course, even I haven't, but I have listened to demonstrations on websites. There are other efforts Apple has made in relation to accessibility, but as you mentioned MAC, I thought these are websites that will get you out of your ignorence in this regard. I don't want to go on and on, but the generalizations are gobsmaking to say the least...
