As far as Apple screen reader is concerned, Don't think that's quite right
Jonathan. Some of Apple's own software does work with the screen reader,
and there is such a thing as MS Office on the Mac, although how much that
can be got to work with the Tiger speech I don't know at all. I'd imagine
that the Safari web browser works, and they have built in a lot more
keyboard support for that in recent years.
We really need a good review of the Apple screen reader, and one was done on
Main Menu a few months back.

The biggest problem will be with the lack of useable applications. Office
and ITunes are out for a start. yes it's a Mac and yes it talks - but
that's about it right now.
If Tiger were a car, it would have no headlights and only work on alternate
days, in April and only if it wasn't raining! If that's what your after,
it's right for you.

Hi,
Was thinking of getting a Mac Mini or something else to use Tiger. Atm the
Mac Mini is appealing because it is cheap and can use my existing equipment
(though I will need to use a wired keyboard/mouse probably), whereas I don't
have the room for a Imac or anything else. What are people's opinions? Is
the Mac Mini fast enough to run Tiger/Screen Access successfully?
Thanks.
Andrew.
