Excellent points, Scott, and I appreciate and understand them.
I have forwarded these thoughts onto our I T people at the University.
They don't know much about accessibility, but I would think they should be
able to get me set up with either bootcamp or paralles as needed.
I still have to check out the Duxbury and Braille embosser compatibility
issues, though, and plan to do that over the next few days.

Tom, I think the thing you should add to your thinking is you don't have to
choose one or the other. You can run the windows you know and are used to
under a virtual machine and the Mac skills to boot and interact with that
windows machine are minimal so that might be a good way for you to migrate
over time from one to the other. When I made the switch I booted two
computers one Mac laptop and one PC laptop and just used the PC for googling
/ learning from references for Voice over. There's no reason you can't do
that with a virtual machine though.
Another option is boot camp. Boot camp lets you run windows
natively under the Mac so you'd just boot in to windows or OSX. The
disadvantage here is you can only use one at a time where with the VMWare
option you can use both in parallel at the same time. You don't have to cut
ties with windows though just because you select a Mac that's the main point
I want to get across to you. You can exist in both worlds and migrate at
your own speed or even use both and just let them each do what they are good
at. If the Mac doesn't have the tool you need just switch to the windows
instance and vise versa.
