Hi Gordon,
It is nothing to do with dealerships, I have no business interest in whether
I sell Apple or not. I was speaking purely as someone who has played with
it for a few days, and liked it initially, until I tried to configure it to
my taste. For example, you can't even set windows around areas of the
screen that you want to read and then monitor them so easily. There is in
fact, very little you can do to configure it, apart from the obvious, speed,
pitch, etc.
So while I love Apple's idea of sticking it in the operating system, as I
say, I am not so keen on the idea that you have to wait until some developer
decides to get your app working before you can use it.
All the best
Steve

Well Steve, if I were to take a leaf out of your book I would have to say,
because windows sucks, it's not as good as Leopard and no one should
consider it.
In reality, it works for me and I am very happy with it.
Of course Apple dealerships are hard to come by and I doubt access
technology suppliers would be heading up Apple's list of new dealers so
perhaps you would be a bit negative about Apple.
There's a lot to be said for not being at the mercy of merchants of upgrades
and overpriced screen readers.
