I have not taken the time to learn my iMac, but it is just like any other
computer. It is going to take some time to get use to the new features and the
new key strokes, but I am sure that any screen-reader that a person uses out of
the box takes time getting use to. Once you get acquainted with the new
features I think you will be happy with the Mac computers. There is a lot of
rave over the Mac computers. Take a look at the following links, I think this
will give you some idea of what you are going to be dealing with if you get a
Mac.
applevis.com website:
http://www.applevis.com
applevis.com podcast page:
http://www.applevis.com/podcasts
The first link takes you to the home page where you can read reviews and
explore other things that Applevis has to offer. The second link takes you to
the podcast page where there are tons of podcast on everything Apple from the
iPhone to the computers. There is a combo box that you can use to filter down
to just apps, IOS, mac, etc. Hope this website helps you in making a decision.
The podcast will let you hear how the Mac sounds to, to see I you would like
it.

Go for it, get a Mac. Once you learn it you won’t look back. In many ways it
is like the phone, Apple is doing what they can to make them as similar as
possible. Voice over is great and even better if you get the extra voices. I
think they should just include them but they don’t but they are free.

I have no windows of any kind now. kate bit the dust last week. I tore her
down and threw her away. I loved and will always love my xp but it is no more.
My friend is trying to talk me into a Mac. If it is anything like my
iPhone...I may consider it downt he road. I just like the voiceover program
better than the zoomtext I had on Kate. I miss my Kate.

Some folks are already raving about Windows 10, but based on what experience
I’ve had with 8.1, I would rave about most anything *lol*. My sister-in-law
says her old vista machine is faster than my notebook running 8.1. I don’t
doubt her and she’s a big Windows supporter. She thinks my mac is out to get
her and she’s been to scared to try the linux box yet. Although she was
showing some signs of interest with it earlier. So we’ll see about that.
Yes parts of the US have been pounded with snow, other parts not so much.
We’ve had 2 snow storms with any decent amount of snow so far. That’s below
normal. Have had bits of biter cold weather though, then it will warm back up
a bit then go cold again. El Nino winter, just not strong enough to give us a
warm winter.

Hi everyone! Yes I know I haven't barely been online for two months as I had
dramas with the previous laptop. Now I have a new machine and I am slowly
getting the ropes of using windows 8. While window shopping for a new laptop
the guy told me windows 10 is supposely coming out in the near future.
TYPICAL! Just as when I get use to using one program a new one comes out!!
Also we had six weeks of summer school holidays so most of my time was busy
with my children. We visited three theme parks, visit a musuem twice, went
shopping, alot of dining out with friends and seen 6 movies at the cinema. Was
thinking of going away for a week but it started to became more a wet January.
We live in a tropical cyclone environment. We are on cyclone watch now!!
There is a tropical low out to the sea and it is forecast to hit inland as a
category one by the middle of the night tonight. We are forecast to have
storms and heavy rain up to 500mm in two days.
The girls have been back at school for three weeks now. Both of my girls had
their swimming carnival recently and school photos were taken. Monique didn't
have a good start to her school year. In the first week her best friend was
admitted to hospital after she collapsed at school and lost her sight. She had
fluiid in the brain!! Since then Monique had a virus for two days and only
yesterday she sprained her left ankle. She has now house bound for afew days.
Next month Rachel will commenced volunteer day at a Meals for Wheels centre.
Its an organisation where they cook and deliver meals to people who aren't
fully dependent to cook themselves. I don't know what her role will be as she
isn't old enough to have a driver's licence. All her grade level is involved
and they are roster two mornings a week for two students each week during
school term. Later in the year they all will have work experience for a week.
Was on a break from bowling and craft over the summer holidays. In mid January
bowling league resume. At present time my team is in the top 10 position. It
changes each week! My team mate had two star of the weeks for bowling over
average games. I had ups and downs each week. Craft resumed two weeks ago.
At the moment I am only attending on Tuesdays and some Wednesdays. I hope to
start studying soon.
Hope everyone is well and enjoying their winter season in the nothern
hemisphere. I heard it has snowed alot in US. I am start to wonder if we will
have a cold winter for once. Suzi
