That is one of the first things I tell kids who want to learn VoiceOver. Forget everything you ever learned about Windows because it will be very confusing to you, if you don't. There are marked differences between he two operating systems and that should be noted before tackling VoiceOver. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.

If you switch to the mac with the mindset that you are looking for something similar to Vista, you will either fail or take a very, very long time to do anything productive with your new computer. I know it sounds rather stupid, but just forget about everything you know about your windows machine and learn voiceover. Then you will really be able to decide if you like it better or not.

If money isn't too much of an issue, you really can't go wrong with a macbook pro. I believe that start at $1199. Go to the apple site and mess around with the configurations. As far as being like windows vista home premium, the mac operating system is just a different animal. There are some similarities between the 2 OS's but there just very different in the way you go about using them. Especially when putting into account the screenreaders. Voiceover is like nothing you would have used on windows.hth On Jan 29, 2010, at 9:52 AM, Daniel McGee wrote:Hi everyone, I have another question. In all of your personal opations which Mac would you recommend to get for a person swiching over from windows? I can't see the screen I've heard of one called a mac mini which is just the box so to speak you don't need to buy a monitor which sounds cool. But someone told me once I can't remember which version of the Mac was it but is it true that in one of tthe versions you can't burn audio CD's Or it might be that you can't burn DVD's i'm not sure. That's just a fact I would like to clear up. And my main question is what version would you recommend for me? If it helps I have a windows Vista Home premium addition. So i'm kind of looking for a Mac that's similar to home premium. Of course its always nice to have a faster processor. lol I don't want to get an I mac because I already have a desktop computer so I can rule out the IMac desktop computer.I'll await your comments and Recommendations. Many Thanks Daniel
