Hello all.
I know that this post is "off topic", so I'll start right off the bat by
asking anyone with info to reply to me privately at:
[log in to unmask]
I'm getting to the point where I need to seriously think about replacing my
home PC. I have always heard good things about Macs as compared to Windows
machines, but kept putting off trying a Mac out, since I am currently using
all windows-based machines, and have an SMA for Jaws. I also have the
Duxbury Braille translation software for Windows.
My Jaws SMA will be up this year, and my version of Duxbury is getting
outdated.
A lot of people tell me that Macs are much easier to use, and less
virus-prone than Windows machines. In addition, I have heard that the
newest Macs have a built-in speech screen reading program, that is fairly
comparable to Jaws.
Obviously, if I were to get a Mac, I'd have to worry about compatibility
between the home Mac, and my windows-based machine at work. I also need to
know if the Duxbury Braille translation program has a version that works
with macs.
There's lots to think about here, but I thought I'd start with getting input
from you guys. I didn't think it'd be appreciated if I posted this quiry on
the Jaws users list. (grin)
Thanks for any wisdom you can provide, and again, please reply privately.
