It will however work.Safari can read very well with VoiceOver, however it is a completely different navigation system. It will take some time to get used to because it is so different but it has many similar facilities to JAWS.Regards.

Does the keyboard have to be Mac, or does any chosen USB keyboard do the job, or is there a dedicated keyboard socket? How have you found the reading of web pages using Saphari and what's it like (I mean how slick, say, in comparison with Jaws) when reading emails? -- Carol P ---- Original Message ---- From: "Jackie Cairns" <jackie.cairnsplace@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 10:15 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Mac MiniHi Rex We have our wireless key in the Mac Mini which is downstairs, and the modem is upstairs. So we get a really good signal and it works pretty fast on Safari. I love the keyboard Martin chose as it isn't only full-size, but has a USB port on it to use for a pen or something. The Mini itself is just a small square box, and he has attached a pair of small Bose speakers to it.

It is quite small, and the keyboard he uses is full size. He chose the spec, which is a 500GB hard drive, 4GB of RAM, dual core processor and CD/DVD drive. Of course he has the Alex voice running on VoiceOver. He has bought a full copy of Windows 7 to eventually put on there using Fusion or something so he can swap, but just hasn't got round to setting it up. I'm beginning to learn a few keystrokes, and attach both my Nano and iPod Touch to it for transferring music to and from iTunes. I'd like a Mac of my own so I can play about with it and set it up with my own preferences, but I wouldn't know what to choose to be honest. The Mac Mini doesn't have a monitor as this is no good to me, and Martin doesn't have enough sight to see the screen any more. So he has bought an adaptor to fool the Mini into believing a monitor is attached, and it works brilliantly. But as for what Mac to go for, I can't help. I need to do a bit of homework myself if I were deadly serious about buying my own machine. For now, I just borrow Martin's to play about with.

I've been thinking about buying a Mac with a view to running both mac OS and MS Windows on the same machine. Moreover, as a programmer, I understand programming GUI applications on the Mac is a less cumbersome experience, compared to MS Windows. Many thanks in advance for your input.
