No. Flash is *not* accessible on the mac to anyone not even sighted. Apple
chose this as flash does crash a lot. But now with the use of html5 and
companies that should b e using it for their players this is becoming not so
important as it used to be.

When you say that it isn’t accessible on the Mac, do you mean accessible in
terms of the flash content on the net or a stand-alone player?

Well, you can run windows on your Mac for the times you just got to have
it. I do think Mac is taking off more in the government and enterprise
sector now. Now will it continue the trend I just don’t know. Only time
will tell.
Now if you are wanting to go this way just to save money on a screen reader
then this might not be the thing to do especially if you use Excel a lot
then you really need to use some kind of windows and with a major screen
reader like JFW. Now MS office is supposed to be accessible on Mac now but
will it continue to be that way or will at some point it might not be again.
I don’t have a Mac as of now I plan on getting one in the near future but
by no means will it be my only computer with just one OS on it. I have
window computer so will I put windows on my mac don’t know but I do want to
get one and use it. As both Mac and Windows have different things to offer
and does better than the other does. I have never found a one silver bullet
that does everything I want. So to me getting a Mac is just adding a tool
to my tool box. That is becoming very large now. JMT

Hi.

I've been using a PC for 25 years or so.

I notice more blind using Macs and as the voice is getting more user
friendly, as it seems, I'm wondering whether to get a Mac for my next
computer.

I use Excel for my business, banking and writing cheques and I use Flash
player to listen to recordings as I'm in the piano business.

I would appreciate some advice. I realize there are so many in this group
who are totally familiar with the Mac and with Voiceover.

Thanks, thanks so much.
