[bcab] Re: Are Macs viable for VIs?

Geoff,
Wait till Mac OS ten point five leopard comes out as this will have an improved screen reader with Braille support. When it comes out go down to your local Mac store if you have one and ask for a demo. I think it should be out in the first quarter of this year.

Subject: [bcab] Are Macs viable for VIs?



Hello All.
I am considering buying a new system at home and I am interested to know if 
anybody is using a Mac successfully as their home system.  Is OSX 10.4 and
all the associated applications accessible to a totally blind person now?
Also, can it support braille output reliably.  I look forward to hearing
views both for and against.


Regards,
