[Tai Tomasi]

I have experience with using the Mac for legal work and I have to agree with Al.

Yes to the first question. I don't know to the second. Using a mac makes it very difficult to collaborate with other attorneys who use Windows, primarily because VoiceOver support in MS word for Mac is not yet ready for primetime.

If you are already familiar with Windows and a Windows screenreader, I would recommend sticking with that for the time being, though it pains me to say that. I only use a Mac and VoiceOver because I've been using them for a decade, and am faster using them even with the limitations. I still have Windows running under VMWare, though, because there are things that currently require Windows (like dealing with tracked changes reasonably).

Has anyone had significant experience using an apple Mac in their practice.  Are docs created in pages 100% compatible with Word for windows?
