Anyone on this list using a Mac with Tiger?Hi,
I haven't read it myself yet, but there's a review of this in the current issue
of Accessworld.
The address is:
www.afb.org/accessworld
This is a bi-monthly online magazine, and I would recommend it to any blind or
partially sighted person with an interest in all matters technology.
Regards,
Brian B.

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.
