Well, it depends on what you are looking for in a Mac? Do you want to be
stationary or mobile? Do you need lots of processer and ram and a big HD or
something more geared down? Also what kind of money are you wanting to
spend? With the answer to these questions we would have a better starting
place to point you. HTH

Subject: [mac4theblind] Intro and first question
Hello all,
I am just beginning my adventure into the Apple world, and will be getting
an iPhone later this month. I have also decided to switch to a Mac sometime
next year, as our PC needs replacing and, well, my investigations tell me
that the Mac world is a great place.
A first question as I am trying to get oriented to this new environment. Can
people share their observations as to the various Mac versions? Having
always used a numberpad, I am hesitant to go to a Macbook without one. But I
also know not to compare Jaws to VO or Windows to the Mac. Just wondering
about the ease of use between the Macbooks and the full keyboard Apple PCs.
And, I'm just curious. No one knows, but do you think they might introduce
Siri and the Dictate feature now on the iOS5 4s iPhone into the operating
system for the Mac? When did the Lion operating system come out?
And a final note of thanks so far. Thanks to John. I found the Mac4theblind
website and it is a wonderful resourse. Thanks to Bubba, who has shared many
links for valuable resources. And, Mike Arrigo, if you're on this list, I
have listened to all of your Mac podcasts on BlindCoolTech. What a trip, and
thanks for doing those. It's amazing to see the progress. Even by the 2nd or
3rd one, I knew that the Mac was a good product.
Looking forward to my Apple plunge.
Jean
