Another advantage of Boot camp is it uses all the processer and ram that the
Mac has. The other you have to share. I thought also I seen on the Mac list
that you could do a unintended install?

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!
