Hi, Jumping in on this thread to say I've actually begun to have second thoughts myself about switching to a Mac in view of recent traffic about problems with Mail, Safari etc. I know even Macs aren't perfect and I have a number of reasons for being unhappy with Windows however I have been watching this list for a good few weeks now and have been rather disconcerted by the number of issues people seem to be having with VO and their Macs. As I say I was (an maybe still am) very close to switching and was in fact just looking up specs and prices yesterday and and planning on buying post-Christmas however I have to say I am now having real second thoughts....sad really as I've been toying with switching for over 3 years now and I did think it was at a point where it made more sense than ever but for the additional outlay of buying a MAC I am hoping to get a robust system that doesn't crash like my Windows kit and where I can at least use the standard mac apps such as Mail, Safari and Text Edit without any problems other than the learning curve I know I will have to face. So I'm rather confused and disillusioned, sorry folks but I'm telling it how I see it, I'm not saying Macs are bad and Windows machines are better rather that I don't think a Mac is as reliable or robust a solution as I thought it would be.

In fact it's getting to the point where I crash programs on a daily basis. Some people are having trouble with Safari but for me it's the other programs. Last night I crashed ITunes and Mail both at the same time in fact. It's intermittent. I think it might have something to do with VO and Snow leopard as my sighted husband who doesn't use VO has no problems. Has anybody else had trouble with programs crashing on a daily basis? thanks.> > Click on the link below to go to our homepage. > http://www.icanworkthisthing.com > > Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. > //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover > > Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to > macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web > interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover > __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4640 (20091126) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4640 (20091126) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4640 (20091126) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com > > Click on the link below to go to our homepage. > http://www.icanworkthisthing.com > > Manage your subscription by using the web interface on the link below. > //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover > > Users can subscribe to this list by sending email to > macvoiceover-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > with 'subscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web > interface at //www.freelists.org/list/macvoiceover >
