Hi Andy Baracco, Rather than buying a windows netbook to visit flash intensive pages, you could also run windows on your mac. It's what I do and windows works like any other task on the mac. You can switch back and forth from and to windows and os 10, and everything inside windows works just fine. Doing this involves getting VmWare fusion which is the program to run windows in. Next a windows installation CD or an iso file for that matter, and a valid windows license key. If you don't want to pay extra for a screen reader, NVDA is a good thing to use. Just an idea, to give you an alternative to buying a physical windows machine. Running windows on the mac gives many advantages for a blind person, in terms of backing up, solving problems and so on.

There are some pages, many of which are very important to me, that you just cannot access. I love my Mac very much, but the sad truth is that if you have Flash-intensive pages that you want to access, you will not want to try it with your Mac at this time.

Is this true, because if it is, it just may be a dealbraker, as I often access many of the sports sites that use flash.
