Dear Lena,
I have been using a Mac for two years and love it! I switched from Jaws and
find the Apple Macintosh Platform quite a bit easier to learn. When you get a
Mac you buy not only the computer but the screenreader as well. The Voiceover
screenreader is free. I have such a great experience with the Mac and their
tech support that I am really hoping to get a job with Apple! Have a wonderful
day. If you want to contact me by email you can. My email is
benmartinking@xxxxxxxxx
Blessings,
Ben King
