[Blind-Computing] Is anyone a MAC user
Is anyone out there a MAC user? I need to get a new laptop computer and I have read that the MAC comes with it's own screen reader, that Apple automatically updates it, and there is no fee like JAWS charges for its new software versions. What I don't know is: 1. Is the MAC user friendly for a blind person? 2. Is there scanning software that is compatible with the MAC (I currently use Open Book, but this is not compatible with the MAC.

Re: [Blind-Computing] Is anyone a MAC user
Agreed there is no fee like jaws charges. However a Mac book is quite expensive. In the end right now at least it is comparable to buying a windows based machine and jaws. The speech however is very good.

Hi Linda. I usually see that message when HP has updated their software automatically. I suppose it might come up if you were switching tasks or something. But it usually is preceeded by a screen asking your permission to download some updates from HP. Their about as frequent as the ones for Windows, itself, maybe two or three times a week. HP does seem to stay on top of things reasonably well.

I know one thing about Silverlight, and that is that it's the player used by MLB.com to play the games on. It's not very accessible, so they've set up a more accessible page and player.
