Re: Macs and Rehab agenciesRe: Microsoft Office 2011 period
I just wanted to say I think it's wonderful that rehab agencies are finally getting away from Windows, and are opening up to the Mac. This was needed for the past three years.

It is a power house. I am, among other things, a musician. One of the reasons for the increased hardware specs are so that I can effectively run Pro Tools once I am up to the task. I imagine I'll have to spring for PT myself, though. On Oct 26, 2010, at 10:46 PM, Cheree Heppe wrote: Cheree Heppe here: Powerful!

Re: Macs and Rehab agenciesRe: Microsoft Office 2011 period
It wasn't easy. Towards the end of the process, wen I thought everything had ben settled, my counselor spoke to somebody in the AT industry who told him that very few blind people use Macs and that they're not particularly accessible. It took about twenty minutes on the phone to set him straight. people whose livelihood depends on the AT industry staying pretty much as it has been for the last twenty years are scared, and it seems they will do some amazing things to protect their jobs.

Re: Macs and Rehab agenciesRe: Microsoft Office 2011 period
It's a pretty great setup you have there. I have the same basic setup but on the 17 inch with the 500GB SSD drive instead of the 7200 RPM traditional. Being able to run virtual machines like that is the bees knees. I also find cracking WEP keys is pretty easy.:) Love having that many cores.

be careful. some people don't like war drivers. :) yeah, having a mainframe in your lap is definitely worth the money.
