Subject: Re: WINDOWS OR MAC? APPLE SAYS BOTH
If you don't mind me saying, this thread is becoming tiresome. It is
serving very little purpose, other than for people to go back and
forth about wether or not Windows or Mac is the best.
I'm going to play the diplomat here and say that it's all about what
you like to use. If you find that you like to use the Mac OS, and it
does what you want to use, then by God, use it! and if, like me,
Windows works for you, then use that. I am sick and tired of these
arguments and I wish they'd stop.
Just use what you want to use and if someone else chooses to use
something else, don't make fun of them or condemn them. They made a
choice, so let them be who they're going to be.

Hi Gabe,
When I questioned an Apple rep at one of the CSUN presentations,
even she didn't know what to say when I brought up the weak
application support in VoiceOver, other than it is the app's
responsibility to support VoiceOver. We all know how well that's
going to work. She couldn't tell me much about Apple's total lack
of support in VoiceOver for such important built-in apps as iTunes,
either. Very disappointing.

Well, now all that's different is the hardware. But my question
is, what makes mac hardware so much better than Windows stuff?
I do have to admit that i like the idea of just being able to
walk up to any computer, hit a hotkey and have a screenreader.
I've never been a mac geek, but I do have to say I'm impressed
with the idea. Now all they need to do is make it a *true*
screenreader, one that is as powerful as JAWS and Window-eyes.
Right now, it is good but there are still limitations.

Actually I would be much happier if it were to go the other way
- run
Mac OS X on generic Intel machines. I would love to run the
Mac OS on
my currently owned windows box. In fact, if Voice over gets
just a
little bit better, i would love to scrap winblows entirely and
just
run
the Mac and Linux partitions instead. But to buy a new Mac from
start,
that would set me back quite a bit.

Very
exciting development.

I assume that we could potentially load jaws on to the Mac and
use it with
XP, and then play with voiceover every now and then.
