Would it be possible to offer a more usable format to our friends on the list? I would be happy to help with the conversion.

Of course the Mac can also runWindows, even with the Mac OS if you use Fusion so you can have the best of both worlds..However there is a definite learning curve to learning to use the Mac. I got a Mac ;in 2011 and I am still learning all the time. If you have some sight transferring to the Mac will not be so much of a learning curve but using Voiceover is very different from using Windows Screenreaders. In some areas voiceover is more powerful than any Windows screenreader but in others less so. What is undeniable is that you need to learn a whole new skill set, people often forget how much they invested in learning Windows and a similar effort will be required to get the most out of OS and Voiceover. iTunes is most definitely accessible an as are the majority of applications which come from Apple.I copy below some Podcasts I have done on using the Mac which may give you an idea.

I currently have a windows pc with windows 7 and an iphone. I cannot use itunes at all with nvda on windows and therefore my iphone is inaccessible with a pc. I am thinking of getting a mac to make my apple life easier. Is itunes fully accessible on a mac? What pros and cons for either system are there. I don't want to spend a grand and then wish i hadn't when i could get a beast of a pc for 500.I currently use programs such as firefox, wavepad, winamp, thunderbird, wordpad, skype, etc. I don't use office so the fact i've heard it isn't too accessible on a mac isn't an issue for me.Thanks, Louise. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:-** [<mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe]>mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe]** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** <mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:-** [<mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq]>mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq]** or send a message, to** <mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq-- PRIVACY IS A BASIC RIGHT - NOT A CONCESSION
