Hey I'm really gunna try my best and I think I can do it, to have voc rehab get me a mac mini plus a netbook with win7 and system access I did the math it'll save them a chunk of money by getting me both the mac and the netbook. So when I get my mac from them I'll be able to start answering a lot more questions on this list instead of just asking about stuff. And, well if I don't get a mac mini I'll be really really disappointed. But I think I have good justification for asking for one. I'm gunna use the netbook more as a notetaker for classes while tthe mac will do the scanning, OCR, and the other stuff I need it for. If the neetbook gets a virus or dies I will still have the mac which will be solid stable and reliable. Of course I guess if windows7 is that bad on the netbook I may end up reformatting and replacing it with Ubuntu or knoppix-adriane anyways so no big deal.

Tired of Microsoft Windows and paying thousands for screen-readers? try out NVDA, get a mac--, nvda--for Windows, or try out and switch to grml, Ubuntu, Vinux, or knoppix-adriane Linux desktops. Knoppix ubuntu and vinux-cli-max are the most accessible for beginners. also try vinux-gui and encourage those at www.cherrypal.com to use windows-xp and nvda knoppix-adriane Vinux-cli-max or grml so all blind people can have an accessible computer.
