Hi there. I guess that can work although I have found that a lot of the salespeople are constantly trying to get you to buy or hanging around etc. I know they have to watch the equipment to make sure nobody steals it, but I wish they wouldn't grab the mouse and try to help me every time I try and do something. Also, sometimes it is just better to have the equipment at your workspace to see how it works with your network and all that other technology. Yes you could maybe bring your own stuff to the store but that can be difficult sometimes. I am not saying that testing things at the store never works, I am just saying it didn't work for me in this case. smile

That's exactly why you go spend time in a store. They'll let you take as much time as you need even making several visits.Dennis Bartlett dennis.bartlett@xxxxxxxxxx On 8-May-08, at 4:46 PM, Sara wrote:Thank you David. That is why I bought a stock model from a store with a 14-day return policy. Many items have 30 days but computers are often less time. As for discouraging it, then people wouldn't be able to be sure if they liked something, particularly access technology. If something isn't compatible then the customer loses. I am going to stop talking about this now as this isn't about my personal purchases but about whether or not a Mac is useful for a blind person.Thanks all.

What is interesting is that you have the ability to try this and take it back if you don't want it. Tell me, anyone, have you ever been able to do that with a Windows PC? You mostly have to own the software as soon as you open it. Now, it would appear, that one can buy and try, solong as it is a Mac. Kudos to Apple.

It would say, "new spreadsheet" and then I'd have to scroll over to get to the actual button. Just a minor glitch; I forgive them for that one. I guess we're all banding together then?
