Their screen reader is called voice over and I understand it is quite good, beyond that my information on Macs is very limited.

Is anyone out there a MAC user? I need to get a new laptop computer and I have read that the MAC comes with it's own screen reader, that Apple automatically updates it, and there is no fee like JAWS charges for its new software versions. What I don't know is: 1. Is the MAC user friendly for a blind person? 2. Is there scanning software that is compatible with the MAC (I currently use Open Book, but this is not compatible with the MAC. Any and all advice including pros and cons would be greatly appreciated.
