It is very accessible if you use Mac word called IWorks and other things
apple like spread sheet. The developer access sucks but can be dealt with.
A lot of stuff works out of the box and I know to high level blind
developers who have switched to it. I will say though they also have Fusion
and windows 7 and linux running on the mac for things the Mac will not do.
Over all if your just wanting to do basic stuff the Mac is a ok product. My
opinion and I have one down in my living room is that everything is a
magnitude harder to do. If you get in a race with another blind person using
windows 7 and jaws you can just do things a hell of a lot faster with
Windows 7 and Jaws.

Just how accessible is apple these days anyway? I heard some
interesting things about voiceover but, I've never run across another
screen reader user who's actually made the switch. Are all
applications accessible using it? Wonder how coding, word processing
and browsing work with it.

Thanks a lot. If only Microsoft Corp would be as proactive as Apple in
making their products accessible right from the source and not having us
have to install extra software just for accessibility purposes. I mean
seriously.
