Keith,
I realize you are the list owner, but this short sided view of Stacey's
question is extremely unfair.
I too obviously work in a windows environment every day, but have a mac and
am trying extremely hard to learn how it operates in conjunction with voice
over for a potential job situation.
In doing so I often find myself thinking there has to be a way to do this or
that, because I know how to make something function in windows with jaws. In
fact, many times I'll approach my question from my current knowledge and
pose it to my colleague who is a Mac user, and he understands what I am
asking and assist me with finding solutions. I don't think any of us is
looking for a bunch of palabra and opinions on which screen reader is better
ETC, but more an explanation of what can I expect to do with VO that perhaps
maybe similar to the JW approach to make my transition easier. Now, before I
get all the emails about how fundamentally different Mac OS is from windows,
believe me I'm super aware of that considering the struggles I've had trying
to learn how to use VO over the past 5 weeks. So, while I think the question
as posed may have been slightly off point, I think it certainly could have
been redirected to be a great question that if answered intelligently could
have helped lots of people, who are in the same boat I'm in!
I wish everyone well, and I too will be leaving the list.

Stacy,
If you want to compare screenreaders, find a list where you can do that.
This list is for learning how to use Voiceover.
Buy a MAC and if you don't like it, take it back. That is the only
way you can tell which one is best for you.
