Hi Justin, I used keyNote and Pages for papers and presentations with great success. I simply saved files in what ever format they needed to be in, PPT, .Doc, etc, no one ever experienced problems working with my documents on Pc's. I used Safari to work with Blackboard, again with no problems. I can't comment on online classes because I was in a campus setting, but I'd hope that safari would work there, too. Do you know why your DSS people are saying you have to use Jaws? I really hope this isn't the case! Let me know if you've got any more questions about how the mac worked for me in school!
