MS Office 2004 doesn't work with VoiceOver right now, I have tried it. I
never thought I would say it but I will miss MS Word on my Mac when thr
trial runs out.

Anyone on this list using a Mac with Tiger?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.
