Brian is correct in saying that Kurzweil 1000 blindness reading product ony works under Windows and not the Macintosh platform. At the moment the Macintosh platform is difficult for all but the most determined of speech users due to its present stage of developmet of VoiceOver their screen reader which is built in. Regards.

The Mac Powerbook I believe can run a Windows emulator, but I'm not certain if it will let absolutely all Windows programs run under it. You may be able to run Kurzweil under the MS Windows environment of a Mac Powerbook, but if this was important to you, be absolutely certain to specify this as requirement as a condition of purchase! Hope this helps. Brian Brian K.
