Hi, David, Wow, there's a name from the past. My name is Mike Busboom, and we corresponded with one another in an earlier life. I went to your website, and I will go back frequently.

Re: Introduction From New List Member
Mike, I'm honored that you remember that tutorial, which I recorded in 1993, by the way. I agree with your comments re: Mac advantages over Windows. On the PC, when my Web browser hangs, it often hangs up my screen reader which is NVDA, a screen reader which rarely crashes. The one time Safari actually got hung up, the Mac had no negative effects, whatsoever. Voiceover and my other running apps just worked as though nothing was happening. Quite impressive.

Re: Introduction From New List Member
Hi, David, Welcome to the list. I did a double-take, because I just realized you've posted to another list I'm on, and thought you were already a member of this one for a while. In any case, my confusion is cleared up. I switched to the Mac in 2010 and just jumped right in. I wasn't doing Assistive Tech work anymore, so I was able to do the "full immerssion" bit. I've used my husband's Windows computer a few times, but basically, it's been all Apple for me. If my computer decides it's toast and doesn't just simply need a hard-drive replacemen, I may be going to mobile devices for good. I'll think about it. Anyhow, welcome and look forward to hearing from you.

I am a long-time user of windows and, a few years ago, my employer purchased an iMac for our classroom. I'll admit that, for a couple of years, I truly hated using the Mac, which I think was more due to my 20-year windows bias. After listening to a lot of tutorials and rummaging through a lot of Web sites, I've gotten to the point where I absolutely love using the Mac and would be quite pleased if I could get one for my next computer. I'm on this list to ask questions as they arise and I also just want to do a lot of reading and try and catch up on gaps in my knowledge which I need to fill. I'll tell you that even when I despised the Mac I clearly saw its benefits and I probably could have given a talk to 100 people and might have been able to convince most of them to at least consider switching from Windows to the Mac, even while I was going through my own love-hate relationship with it.
