Dude, I seriously need to borrow your line of credit. <grin>
I know this is so way off topic, but speaking of tests, I do love that new
Mac commercial that you think is going to be a pro PC commercial...then they
have to send all the pc's away because they could get viruses and crash
regularly.

The score is based upon something more than 150 criteria and how I thinks
which performs better in a number of given situations. JAWS does a lot of
stuff very well but, on some heavily weighted tests, it fails badly compared
to Mac with VO (price, overall stability, consistent behavior and some other
items which one never even considers when using VO).
I'll have a draft of a draft of my report fairly soon but I'm under NDA with
Apple so they can approve or redact anything they choose before I provide it
to a wider audience.
So far this year, I've bought something on the order of 8 Macintoshes
- development machines for my projects and lots of fun stuff for my nieces
and nephews. Yup, I'm swimming in Apple's Jell-o shots!
