Hi Russ,

I've had a mac for 14 months and I too find using the keystrokes to be second nature. I must say though I use my windows Pc for my intensive web browsing sessions. I just don't like the internet on the mac using voiceover in comparison to windows with jaws. Don't get me wrong, The browser with voiceover is useable on the mac, but I just feel like I can navigate quicker on my windows machine.

Hi all,

Okay, I'm ready to take the plunge and buy an iMac 20", but have just one final question for everyone before I do...

I'm sure, like me, most of you have come from using Windows with either Jaws or WindowEyes. For those of you who have been using the Mac for a while now, would you say that you're as productive on the Mac as you once were on Windows? I mean, for me, using Jaws is second nature to me... I don't even need to think about what keystrokes to use, I just interact with whatever program I need to to complete a given task. Now, I know I've also been using Jaws for some 15 years now, so don't expect to get to this level of proficiency overnight, but what do you long time Mac users think? Has using the VO keystrokes become second nature to you? Once one uses the Mac for a while, does navigating in Safari become as easy as navigating IE with Jaws or WE?

Thanks for any and all opinions!

Russell
