I can understand Carol's feelings on the Mac, but there is one thing it does
which no PC can do. Now, some will argue with me and screem, "But all PCs
have Narrator!" Yeah, but Narrator is only good for just about navigating
your desktop and fixing properties, but not for documents and browsing.
The Mac has Speakout, a fully functional, on-board screen-reader which means
that literally *anyone* blind or sighted can use *anyone's* mac. So, that's
one plus for the Mac.
The PC world has something called System Access which can be put on a USB
drive and work in any PC that has a sound card and there is SA-to-go, a
web-based version of System Access. It does have some security
vulnerabilities which, IMHO, can be downright dangerous and I want nothing
to do with the product.
So, yes, cudos to Mac for encompassing all potential users...even if it does
feel strange to use. :-)
Lee (who is PC-locked but seriously thinking of changing to Mac because any
new PC she buys will have to be under Vista!)
