Hi David,
I am considering a mac when I get a laptop sometime later this year. I've never used one yet, but you touched on some of my concerns too. I've always used Jaws and some of the things that Voice Over requires, like having to "interact" with everything in order to be able to read it, and requiring multiple key strokes to do certain things that I'm used to as only needing one command.. well I'll be curious to see if those things end up being an annoyance to me. I will go to a mac store or spend some time trying out a friends' mac before I actually get one, to see if I think its something I can get used to. My husband just got Vista, and from the sounds of it, it seems like Vista has some functionalities similar to a mac OS though with some of those things. It too is quite different than what we're used to with Win XP. Regardless of what I end up getting, I will still need to use Windows too though because connecting to my office network remotely requires Windows.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for those links. That's what I'm looking for as well. This is only my own opinion and on limited use of the Mac OS with Voice-over but I really
need windows smile.  I'm not impressed with the way Voiceover does things.
As I said to a mate, at the moment, voiceover is like Narrator on severe
drugs.  However, I do like the concept of a screen reader built into an
operating system which is one major reason why I wanted to give the mac and
Voiceover a go.  I also like the design of the Mac Mini so I don't want to
throw away the hardware.  I guess I just want Windows on a mac mini hence
why I'm asking about Windows on a Mac.  When Voiceover matures a bit more
then I might give it some serious consideration as a major screen reader in
our household but at the moment,  pressing 3 keys together to do basic
screen reading commands isn't my cup of tea smile.  Neither is having to
shall we say bring focus to most basic areas of the screen (interact mode)
and then releasing it is something I am not use to with Jaws or Wineyes and
is something I shouldn't have to get use to with decent screen reader
access. That's just a few things. Again that is only my opinion and is no
means a criticism of anyone else.

Hi David,

There is a lot on this already I am afraid and I cannot cover it all from
memory and would have to look it up. Your best bet in all seriousness is to

look at the sites with tutorials and guides such as:
http://www.lioncourt.com
http://www.screenlessswitchers.com
and:
http://www.icanworkthisthing.com
I may not have all the uris correct, but I hope this helps.

HI Guys,

I really want to learn how to install windows xp pro sp2 onto my Mac Mini
which has Leopard already installed on it.  My mac mini is an Intel based
model.  If you can give me some serious answers or any proper links to
information where one can read up on how to achieve this, that would be much
appreciated.  However, if you intend to reply with sarcastic and unhelpful
messages like read the manual etc, don't bother replying as I won't be
bothered  wasting my time reading them.  Thanks in advance to those of you
who are truly interested in helping.

This is great but because top secret software is always being tested
on my end I don't think I could join. When I buy another Mac I'll get
on board because all I do is test software, so I would have allot to
contribute. Great find!

Hi all,

If you guys are looking for nice fun community to brag about what
your friends use on a daily bases, what they've started using, what
they're most used software is, etc. Check out Wakoopa, a totally
accessible socal software network at http://www.wakoopa.com. I have
created a blind mac users team called "Mac Voiceover." Teams are a
way for a group to get together, us, as Mac users, for example, and
we have a feed on people started using, and at the top of the page
we have the most used/hot applications. Best of all there are
widgets now that you can post on your blog or what have you so
everyone can see what you are doing at the present moment on the Mac.

After signing up, you will be required to download a small
application which tracks what you are doing. If, for example, you
are in a beta program, don't forget to shut this down before opening
it, as you will share it with the world (I don't know if there is
any way to control what you share). Otherwise, after you enter your
username and password, simply start doing daily things and you'll
see a programs list start to build up in your profile. After you
sign up and get the tracker set up, be sure to join the Mac
Voiceover team by going to http://www.wakoopa.com/teams/macvoiceover
and join it so we get more software than mine.

Thanks, and hope to see some new members and comments on the
messages part of the page.
