Okay, well I didn't intend to start a discussion or an argument on this
topic, I thought I'd made my position clear and if I didn't than I will
do so again.
I have an open mind and yes, everything has its place and I certainly
don't tell people what they should use and what they shouldn't however,
where one system has advantages or disadvantages over another then its
worth noting and I don't spread myths about one system or another.
As for what people have or don't have? Well if you want a Mac then go
get one, if you want a Windows machine then go get one, if you want a
Reaspberry Pi then go get one of those, its your universe so go do and
use what you like and - if I can - then I'll help you with whatever
computer etc you choose to use.

Google, do a little reading and so on.
I appreciate that everyone isn't technically inclined when it comes to audio
stuff and Computers but in many ways these days no one has to be, I think
that's one of the main reasons that the iPhone has been so successful
because all choices have been made for you so all you really have to do is
take the iPhone out of its box, put it on charge, turn the iPhone on, fire
up Voiceover, follow some simple set-up instructions and you're ready to
go.
One of the most challenging and yet most enjoyable products for me has been
my Raspberry Pi which I've written about a few times here, I got the Media
Centre XBMC going on the box and now use it with my iPhone etc.

That's the way, do your research and see what you come up with.
As far as the Mac is concerned - and other platforms as well - there are a
lot of myths about the place and - as good as the Internet is at providing
information - the Internet is also very good at providing misinformation,
I saw a review of Voiceover not long ago and it only took me a few lines
of reading to fully understand that the author unfortunately had
absolutely no idea of what he was talking about, yes he had been using
computers for 20 years but had not! read any documentation on Voiceover or
the Mac let alone done any homework on the subject or asked any questions
so has far as he was concerned? The Mac and Voiceover was supposed to be
exactly the same as his Windows Machine using JAWS, that's like comparing
bicycles the cars, whilst they both get you from point A to point B they
do it in slightly different ways.
Anyway that's another story for another day <smile>.

Hi!
I've changed the subject line <smile>.
Voiceover works very well for me and - for the most part - always has
done over the last 8 years but there's no doubt that Voiceover itself -
like everything else - has gone ahead in leaps and bounds.
There are some truly remarkable Apps out there for those who like audio
including the best value for money audio editing software that money can
buy for a computer of any platform, I speak of Amadeus Pro of course.
I think the purchase price has gone up a little since I purchased it
around 6 years ago but its still good value for money given that you can
do multi track editing and so on.
The there's that other tool I wouldn't be without, Audio Hijack Pro which
does exactly as its name suggests, hijacks the audio from any source and
allows you to manipulate it, capture it, record it, send it somewhere
else etc.
I've only scratched the surface of course.

Ah right, I answered that in another eMail, its not a worrying factor as
I'm quite sure I'll find something, just a matter of finding the right
people to ask, the people who know what they're talking about.
In the meantime? Well for my situation particularly, I needed to
purchase an external drive anyway so what I'm doing and have done hasn't
been a waste of time in any way.

The drives you mean or the software?
The drives - including that shipped by Apple which is not recommended -
are standard USB drives.

Time for me to hunt - using google - for an external USB drive for my
new Mac Mini to enable me to fully utilise the instructions as set out
in the linked article.
