But you do have the exhalent warranty on Apple computers (you can just bring 
them to the store), the actual hardware is way better than most PCs and around 
where I live, if you don't have a Mac with Pro Tools you probably can't get any 
kind of credits for recording in college. 
Annabelle can you elaborate on how it didn't work? Was the processor slow, was 
it hard to get around or what made it not optimal for your use? And did you 
have both Mac and Windows on the same computer?
Thanks

Agreed, Phil. Also, don't forget the headache involved of learning all new 
recording software, and the potential money you'd have to spend on possibly 
getting some training for it; not to mention the probability that companies 
like Freedom Scientific are far better apt to suit the needs of blind clients 
than Apple or Microsoft.

  Hi all.  I know that some of you were commenting that if you purchase a MAC
  then, you won't need to spend $1000 on a screen reader like Jaws.  However,
  keep in mind that when you do purchase that hi end mac that will be required
  to run Pro Tools over a PC then, it's probably going to cost you
  significanly more than $1000 that you would have paid out for your Windows
  screen reader.  Just a thought.

  Also, looked at voiceover recently and although the speech sounds good, it
  was half announcing words when reading E-mail.  Annoying to say the least.
