STAN OMG YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY! I just played with the mac leopard system in the Apple store and I am sold. I can't purchase it til after February because I'm still paying off a pathetic new Dell laptop I didn't want. I would be interested in hearing how you work with it - feel free to include me in any off-list ruminations. And let me know how the dual platform works - I assume you'll run other a-t software like kurzweil or jaws or zoomtext or dragonspeak or something, eh? I'm so jealous. Jealous! JEALOUS! Too you may want to get an external windows-based keyboard to make navigation easier. I have one since it was lying around my office. When I set folks up with macs with dual-boot (for non-VI issues) I set them up with an external windows keyboard. It helps cut down the degree of irritation. But I never give macs to blind/vi folks so I really want to know how it works for you. Plus that means then I really *can* be a mac convert. And before I stop drooling ,let me know how you like the voice over. I found it slightly more intuitive but I haven't read a full review and I haven't had time or chance to really play with it myself. I haven't been able to use a mac thus far because of the wretched voiceover in Tiger (though some less-blind-than-me claim it's serviceable) and leopard seems *so* much better. I'd be particularly keen on knowing how it works with excel and access. - Jeanette On Nov 17, 2007 12:37 AM, Stan Robinson <stanrob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Great News!
