I've used unattended installs; just make sure you tell the install script to
install to disk 0 partition 3 and you will be fine.

You can also use Bootcamp to run windows completely separate from Mac,
although sighted assistants is of course required to set up windows in this
manner, while VMWare Fusion's easy install makes the process very automatic.

Hi Craig,
I haven't used it, but ABBY fine Reader is something lots of people using
voiceover use. From what i know it is accessible.
For word processing, you can use open office, which is free and usable,
though not perfect. The mac does come with a basic word processor, text edit,
that can save documents in rtf and open doc files too. it is very accessible.
You could also buy iWork, Apple's office sweet. Pages, the word processor is
very accessible, and you can open and save doc files as well as native pages
files.
For reading pdfs, you can use preview, which is a built inn mac
application. Vo works well with it.
You can even run windows on a mac if you want or need to, using a virtual
machine. VM Fusion can do the job.
Hope this helps you, and I do recommend you buy a mac, I've had mine since
July and I love it so far, it is awesome.

I am debating between a laptop with windows 7 ore a MacBook. Or maybe
looking at a duel boot option. My question is on a mac running vo is there a
usable ocr option and how about the online banking. And basic word-processing
and reading pdf files. I am sure I can do the email and basic internet and bard
and things but I need the ocr and word-processing option too. I have used the
iPhone 3gs and will be getting the 4 in the next couple of weeks. I am hoping
the iTunes on the mac is more user friendly then using jaws and iTunes on a
pc. Thanks for any input!
