I've had a Mac for a little over two years now, and it has become second nature to me now. I do have WIndows installed on my MAc here, and really about the only thing i use it for, is sites that have flash content, as that's currently not accessible on the Mac.

russ,

you don't have to use the vo keys as much as you might think and yes, when you do need them, it is second nature ina relatively short period of time.

Hi all,

Okay, I'm ready to take the plunge and buy an iMac 20", but have just one final question for everyone before I do...

I'm sure, like me, most of you have come from using Windows with either Jaws or WindowEyes. For those of you who have been using the Mac for a while now, would you say that you're as productive on the Mac as you once were on Windows? I mean, for me, using Jaws is second nature to me... I don't even need to think about what keystrokes to use, I just interact with whatever program I need to to complete a given task. Now, I know I've also been using Jaws for some 15 years now, so don't expect to get to this level of proficiency overnight, but what do you long time Mac users think? Has using the VO keystrokes become second nature to you? Once one uses the Mac for a while, does navigating in Safari become as easy as navigating IE with Jaws or WE?

Thanks for any and all opinions!

Russell
