I think it'd be fun, if one had the money, to "play" around with voice over.
It sounds like a good system for the absolute beginner who only really needs
to surf the web and do email, but my trouble would begin trying to do things
like play music, record TV, etc. All stuff that's easy to do in windows
because JFW is more developed. I'm not sure how far apple will take
Voiceover. If they're committed to accessibility enough, it will improve,
but they're putting their energy in to making Tiger go on Intel processors.
The day I can install it in addition to XP and dual boot, then I'd try it to
play with.
