everything that is in windows that is accessabile with jaws is the same as 
any other system.  Some 3rd party apps are accessible with vo on the Mac os 
side and some are not, some of the native mac os software and some software 
made for Mac os by appare are also not acccessible.

OK so Boot camp is what you use for the dual boot. I would assume that
everything is accessible? What about third party programs for the Mac, are
most of them accessible?
