Well Steve, if I were to take a leaf out of your book I would have to say, because windows sucks, it's not as good as Leopard and no one should consider it. 


In reality, it works for me and I am very happy with it.
Of course Apple dealerships are hard to come by and I doubt access technology suppliers would be heading up Apple's list of new dealers so perhaps you would be a bit negative about Apple.
There's a lot to be said for not being at the mercy of merchants of upgrades and overpriced screen readers.

Hi Gordon,

So why couldn't you do the same with a regular laptop under Windows?

All the best

If you have an Apple store near you go in and ask them to demo the airport 
express with an Apple mac book, truly amazing.
Mine is connected to the aux phono input on my Denon system and I can select 'living room' within remote speakers when in i tunes to play anything I have downloaded or can stream, such as podcasts. Same set up in Quicktime pro 
and safari for other sources.
This isn't just the best thing since sliced bread, this is the best thing 
since M and S sliced bread!

Oh and I can listen via my wireless headphones too, wonderful.

A very happy

That in itself is an increasing minority as more and more older people 
are getting into computers. The fact is, and I mean fact, that within
a few years, most people losing their sight will already have been
computer users. There is hardly a job that doesn't involve using a
computer or computerised device of some sort now. Older people are
more and more getting their heads round the benefits of technology and 
would not want millions of gadgets doing different things around the
house to survive. I am in favour of portable devices you can carry
around, take outside, whatever, that can use whatever wireless network 
is available, but the assumption must be that those who use them will
be computer literate, and won't want a limited device. In fact,
production of such an enabling portable device that acts as internet
radio, talking book player, etc, may well persuade me to go wireless.
I hasten to add, it would need a good stereo output though to connect
to the hifi as well. Don't forget one thing that won't change is older people also having hearing impairments, and in any case, their hearing 
isn't as good as young people's by definition,
