audacity in Linux should do what you want. in my case the installer for
vinux4 on the dell latitude e4310 laptop keeps rashing so I'll either
have to find another installer, or I'll have to use another system like
fdora or sonar.

Hey Tom,
I keep meaning to make time to investigate Linux, because my only
impression of it is years out of date now. I haven't heard of any
screen reader users using it as their digital audio workstation to
make and mix music, with access to VST plugins and the like, and
that's kinda my main use of a computer nowadays. Of course, just
because I haven't heard of it being done in Linux, doesn't mean it
can't be done in Linux. You wouldn't happen to know anything about
that sort of usage would you?

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the information. I didn't know Apple had dropped XP support
in Boot Camp, but I can't honestly say I am surprised either. XP is
really really old, and a lot of people are going to be dropping
support here and there. Everyone accept VMWare who stay in business by
offering a virtual machine for just about everything. :D
However, about the capitalist model you are right. It doesn't really
matter if it is Microsoft or Apple they are both the same from a
commercial developer standard. Its merely a case of pick your poison.
That is why there is a third solution, Linux, which is driven by the
user community rather than some all powerful money hungry corporation.
If the user is willing to take up an open source operating system,
customize it to is/her preference, he or she will do well. Otherwise
they will just have to pick one of the commercial developers who's
only objective is more money, money, money.
Cheers!

Just a small detail to throw into the mix. Apple already stopped
supporting XP via Boot Camp back in 2011. At the time I saw a few
relatively easy workarounds to get XP working again, but they were all
reliant on Apple still quietly providing a set of XP drivers on retail
disks of Lion. Tbh, I highly doubt that'll still be happening now,
what with Mountain Lion running everything in 64-bit by default. Even
if it is still the case, I'll eat my hat if it can still be done by
the time most of the XP hanger-onners actually attempt to make the
switch.
Of course, XP can still be installed and run via VmWare Fusion now,
and that'll be the same for years to come seeing as maximum
compatibility is one of the things that keeps VmWare in business.
Fusion will work a treat for the officy tasks that are still kinda
clunky or simply not doable with VoiceOver, and will probably also
keep some people content in terms of gaming, but you'll definitely
feel the difference when running any newer ttitles that tax the system
more through Fusion.
For what it's worth, the accessibility, length of support and rampant
capitalism on display doesn't seem any better or worse if you put your
fate in Apples hands. If you're fundamentally against the way the
technology industry is being run, then it's just a slightly different
flavour of doom, and you likely won't be any happier with Apple as
your evil overlords.
Oh happy day...
Scott
