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?

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Phil Muir To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 02, 2010 7:44 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Purchassing A Hi End MAC For Pro Tools 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.
