Late October is what I heard a few days ago. Some where I read that there will be the ability to jump to headings, get a list of heading, etc the way JAWS does it now. My biggest peeve is in Safari I can get stuck in a loop on one paragraph, and can't get past it to another place in the document. I think it may be worse when I "group items in a web page". I have a machine that I bring home from work each day, but when I am home I always use my Mac.

The same version works with all five versions of Vista. There are some new features for reading tables, and using IE or Firefox. The current version of VO is not quite as functional on the internet as JAWS, but the one coming in October(os 10.5) should be a big improvement. The price of the JAWS upgrade, which you will need if you use Vista, is dependent on how far back your version is; an upgrade from 6.0 will cost more than an upgrade from 7.0. If you can stay with XP it will be a big money savings for you. One of my students just got the upgrade from 5.5 to 8.0 of JAWS and it cost him $550. That is a lot of money. But he had to have the upgrade to use it with Vista. Hope this helps, Mary Lee On Aug 12, 2007, at 1:02 PM, VaShaun Jones wrote:OK, so what do you recommend? I definantly want the MAC Book Pro, but I need a way to put JAWS and XP on it. I will get the highest performing MBP with 2GB of RAM and 2.GHZ dual core processors. I am doing this because I still need to train on Windows and I want to learn the accessibility in MAC. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Poehlman" <david.poehlman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 12:53 PM Subject: [macvoiceover] jaws and vista with paralells:You will most likely have issues with this combination. The ability to switch into windows apps from what I understand is not accessable. Jaws is not really ready for vista yet. I'm running xp on a MacBook using botcamp and it almost works except I cannot use sound recorder for some reason. I am also using an IMac with the same configuration with th same results. With xp and jaws, paralells has some video driver issues which may affect jaws performance. ----- Original Message ----- From: "VaShaun Jones" <vjones@mjb- llc.com> To: <macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, August 12, 2007 11:30 AM Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: mudding client for mac: I found it Sorry to reply on this thread, however I am new to the list and desperately need your help. My name is Shaun and I am thinking of getting a Mac Book Pro. I will also be running Parallels with Vista. I would be new to both Mac and the Vista operating system, but not new to JAWS and XP. Can someone give me some advice as to what I am in for. For the next week or so I will have allot of questions along these lines.
