Hi all,
I just had to share this, because it struck a cord with me. There are many
Mac people who defend it to the hilt, but like Brian, I don't think the
screen reader is mature enough. Added to that, the problems Brian had with
audio, which I haven't tried yet, it makes for an interesting debate to me.

It is quite long, but I found it an interesting read.
I personally like the Mac for "playing with", but I can't take VO seriously
as a screen reader, not configurable enough. In Brian's blog post for
example, when you get a tweet with Night Owl, it says One Row Added. I can
confirm this annoyance and there seems no easy way of turning that off.
That's just one example of a few frustrations I have with VO.
Discuss if you wish!
All the best
Steve
