[macvoiceover] Introduction

Hi all,
First of all, I'm not a native speaker of English so I'm sorry for all spelling and grammar errors I'll make. If you see some strange language in my mails, feel free to correct me off-list, thanks.
I just sent my first reply to the list and I think it's time to introduce myself.
I'm Bram Duvigneau, studying computer sciences at Arnhem university, the Netherlands. I've my own company for two years now and with it I'm doing all sorts of IT services for small companies.
Currently I'm graduating at a company which develops websites and web applications. I worked with macs of fellow students before, just for fun and to co-operate on something. It was amazing to just plug in my braille display and start working. Now I'm having a mac myself, borrowed it from a friend and I'm considering buying a macbook before the summer, I still have student discount till that time. The company where I'm graduating now is working with Macs only. I currently bring in my own laptop with Windows XP, because I want to be as productive as I can and there aren't any free macs left at the company at the moment. 

Well, so why is OS X not my primary operating system?
- I like to have control over things, in Windows with Jaws/Wineyes scripting I can do what I want, in Linux with Orca it's the same. But when an app doesn't work on the mac, you're stuck. - I'm still checking out which apps I can use on the mac for all my daily activities which range from web browsing and email to developing software and everything in between.
Also, I'm still asking myself: "Why should I switch?" What are advantages of a mac both in terms of accessibility and general things that apply to all switchers? 

Bram
