Yes, I've just listened to Mike's podcast and most of thatmakes sensee to
me. Really helpful.
He mentioned that I could install it either just using the Virtual Machine
or install Windows through bootcamp with sightedhelp (which I have) and then
have them dual boot. Except for the issue of accessibility during install,
is there any difference between doing it through Bootcamp initiallly or
through the VMWare?
Also we're buy the extra memory for the Mac Book so it will have 8 megs. It
sounds like this is enough if I change Windows to 384? That still leaves the
Mac with more than its default. I know nothing about Mac memory
requirements.

Hi,
Not wanting to state the obvious but you will need to install your
screen reader of choice within the Windows environment, be it a dual
boot under Bootcamp or a virtual machine under VMware Fusion. I know
there was historically some problems in getting Jaws to work properly
under Fusion because of the jaws key not always being recognised, not
sure if this is still a concern or if it also applies to Window Eyes
or other Windows screen readers.
I will say though as someone who fought with various dual and
multi-boot setups for years I am a huge fan of virtualisation -- use
it heavily on a Windows platform -- and would never want to go back.

The main thing you will wantto do is choose the easy install, and at
least
initially, not set a password, this way you can get to the windows
desktop
without running in to screens that are inaccessible.

Hi there, you need to get a copy of vmware fusion, www.vmware.com. This
will allow you to run windows in a virtual machine, as well as install
without sighted help. If you have skype or another program for
communication, I could give you more help getting started with this. It
will allow you to run the mac and windows at the same time which is very
convenient.

OK Gang. I read a ton of posts on this but it's like jumping into the
middle of a conversation. So could someone help me by starting at the
beginning.
I just got a MacBook and I do need to run Windows on it for convenience
and because some things I do just don't exist in the Mac world.
I know it has BootCamp already on it and my co-worker (not using screen
access) installed Windows and runs that on her Mac at will. But you're
all talking about a lot of other ways to do this. What is the best way,
what choices do I need to make, and what specifically do I need to get.
Sorry if it's been covered. But after reading posts for an hour from
the
archives I don't know this yet. LOL. TIA.
