It was someone else from RNIB who told me, I can't honestly remember
who.

Hi
JT Voiceover does not work with Apple's own ITunes software. The latter
is apparently due to be sorted out in six months or so.
BH How do you know that please? Is there a web resource about that?

Voiceover does not work with Office. It also doesn't work with
Apple's own ITunes software. The latter is apparently due to be sorted
out in six months or so.

As far as Apple screen reader is concerned, Don't think that's
quite right Jonathan. Some of Apple's own software does work with the
screen reader, and there is such a thing as MS Office on the Mac,
although how much that can be got to work with the Tiger speech I don't
know at all. I'd imagine that the Safari web browser works, and they
have built in a lot more keyboard support for that in recent years.
We really need a good review of the Apple screen reader, and one
was done on Main Menu a few months back.

The biggest problem will be with the lack of useable
applications. Office and ITunes are out for a start. yes it's a Mac
and yes it talks - but that's about it right now.
If Tiger were a car, it would have no headlights and
only work on alternate days, in April and only if it wasn't raining! If
that's what your after, it's right for you.

Hi,
Was thinking of getting a Mac Mini or something else to
use Tiger. Atm the Mac Mini is appealing because it is cheap and can
use my existing equipment (though I will need to use a wired
keyboard/mouse probably), whereas I don't have the room for a Imac or
anything else. What are people's opinions? Is the Mac Mini fast enough
to run Tiger/Screen Access successfully?
Thanks.
Andrew.
