You mention use of the outlook calender, Snow Leopard does have exchange
support in Apple mail, if your work account is on an exchange server. There
is a calender application as well, called iCal. iCal is a little tricky to use
with VO, but it can be used. Hope this helps.

Hi Donna,
Yes, the Macintosh comes with accessibility out of the box. In fact, you'll
even get a nice message telling you how to turn it on when powering it on. If
you buy a Macbook or a Macbook Pro, the newest models will have the trackpad
which will work like the iPhone's or iPod Touch touch

Hi Donna,
Are you the Donna Smith that was on the Bookshare Volunteer list a few
years back? If so, hi from the other Donna! :)
I have had an iphone and a Mac since last July, and I really like
them. I warn you though, I went through a period with both, where I
just wanted to throw them
Correct. On all points. Although there is a learning curve, it's less of a
technical one and more or less all about some of the differences in which
access is approached.

Donna,
You are correct a Mac is fully accessible right out of the box. Anything you
can do on he PC you can do on the Mac, accept for scanning and reading
documents. There is no Mac equivalent to OpenBook.

Actually, I'm having good luck with openoffice.org for spreadsheeting. I don't
have to do complex formulas with it or anything. I just use it for filling out
my time sheets for work. I get the impression there can be more too it than
what I use it for though.

Hello. Yes, a macbook is accessible out of the box with Voiceover. The newer
macbooks come with the trackpad that you mentioned. For spreadsheets, some
people use a program called Tables and others use a program called Numbers that
comes with the Iwork office suite. For the most part, you
I don't own a Mac, myself, but you've got it basically right. The only big
problem I see from your perspective is that there doesn't seem to be a
really useable spreadsheet program in the Mac world. Numbers is not quite
VO compatible yet. That will probably change, but who knows when and how
