Thank you John, for saying what I thought! I don't have enough experience with a Mac to dispute what was said here, but from what I've seen, Voiceover is certainly not second rate! I believe it's every bit as good as JFW!

You obviously didn't do a lot of research. 1. Over priced compared to what? And what do you get for the price? How about that screen reader cost too? How many times will you have to deal with viruses? How many reinstalls of the OS will you have to deal with? 2. VoiceOver is equal and, in some cases, superior to any Windows screen reader. Try using a Mac with sufficient knowledge and capabilities before you start make blanket statements, please.
