Actually there are a few audio games now for Mac Os X, namely a couple
by the good old Draconis Entertainment, others may exist as well which I
do not know about.

Yes, the Mac seems to be a lot more stable. I don't know if it was the laptop I
had or what, but every time you would have to reboot it, you weren't sure if it
would come back. Not going to really go into that but let's just say it didn't
work a lot of the time. And as long as you're not into audio games and things
like that, the Mac is definitely a good choice and very stable.

Hi, I personally find the mac platform extremely stable. I haven’t had a
single app crash on me to the point where it crashed the whole system all
crash’s were contained within the app itself. As for an added bonus in my
opinion you don’t have to pay those jaws fees with voice over since it already
comes integrated in to the OS itself. A pc for me becomes extremely expensive
if you want to be up to date with your screen reader.

Hi Everyone,
As I said previously, I am thinking about getting a Mac and the main reason is
that I am tired of the increasing instability of the PC environment. My first
question is, is this really different on a Mac?
I am using JAWS 15 with Windows 8. Both are not all that stable. I have been
a JAWS user for 17 years and I have noticed a definite progressive increase in
instability with the last few releases. JAWS crashes frequently and, even if
it doesn’t crash, it often stops talking when errors occur with other
applications. Then, there’s Windows 8. I don’t mind the Windows 8 interface
but several times per week, I will have a problem that requires me to restart
my computer. I did not have that nearly as much with Windows 7. Also, it
isn’t unusual for me to install a program which will, either directly or
through add ins, make Windows and/or JAWS more unstable. I then have to decide
rather the additional functionality is worth the increased instability. I’m
just tired of all the crashes and reboots and having to use three or four
screen readers because I have to run one when another one crashes.
By contrast, my iPhone and iPad, while not perfect, are certainly more stable.
VoiceOver seldom just stops working. Of course, every single app is not
accessible and they do not all work correctly but any problems with an app are
almost always confined only to that app. When an app crashes, it usually does
not also cause VoiceOver or the device to crash. Is this also true of the Mac?
I have certainly used technology enough to know that none of it is perfect.
However, I would like something that is better than the PC, when it comes to
stability. Over all, in your experience, is the Mac more stable?
Thanks,
Scott Duck
