Ok Gordon, all sounds very impressive and I have to say I am seriously
toying with switching to a Mac once this laptop dies a death which
may be
sooner than I want to think!
At risk of starting another thread though I would really like to
hear either
on or off list what you're using for such things as word processing,
how
you're getting on with voiceover and Safari and how you've found the
switchover in general and anything else you'd like to comment that
help push
me further Mac-wards!!
Cheers,
Phil

If you have an Apple store near you go in and ask them to demo the
airport
express with an Apple mac book, truly amazing.
Mine is connected to the aux phono input on my Denon system and I
can select
'living room' within remote speakers when in i tunes to play
anything I have
downloaded or can stream, such as podcasts. Same set up in
Quicktime pro
and safari for other sources.
This isn't just the best thing since sliced bread, this is the best
thing
since M and S sliced bread!
Oh and I can listen via my wireless headphones too, wonderful.
A very happy

computer or computerised device of some sort now. Older people are
more and more getting their heads round the benefits of technology

would not want millions of gadgets doing different things around the
house to survive. I am in favour of portable devices you can carry
around, take outside, whatever, that can use whatever wireless
network
is available, but the assumption must be that those who use them will
be computer literate, and won't want a limited device. In fact,
production of such an enabling portable device that acts as internet
radio, talking book player, etc, may well persuade me to go wireless.
I hasten to add, it would need a good stereo output though to connect
to the hifi as well. Don't forget one thing that won't change is
older
people also having hearing impairments, and in any case, their
hearing
isn't as good as young people's by definition,
