JFW is "jaws for windows, so it's not going to work with a mac, as for the 
rest of it I have no clue since the day I switch, if there ever is one, is 
way too far off, there's way too much I can't do with out windows that I 
would miss, like probably realistically 95% of what I do at minimum. Plus 
the learning curve is far from worth it.
