Daryl, maybe if you attend CSUN this year you will look into a demo of
the Mac and do a podcast

Hi Gabe,

I have really mixed feelings about the Mac at this time, but I remain
open

disposal to date would suggest that accessibility and overall
functionality 
for blind users is still significantly better on the Windows platform.
