[Blindtlk] One thing I'm tired of

[Judy Jones]

I hear the Mac is a very good system, very stable, but also more expensive 
than a Windows system.

    Yeah. I didn't learn that until after the problems began.

I started with Vista, then the laptop's mother board fried. I had to buy a
new laptop, but Windows 7 was all you could find. When I tried loading the
program, it wouldn't complete and say something like "this is an invalid
platform. I was confused and didn't know what that meant. I called FS, they
told me to just download the 64 byte version and it will work. So, that's
what I'm running on now.

I would like to know what some of you computer tech guys think of macs and
the voice over. Is it better than windows OS and JAWS? Would it be smart to
go in that direction? How well does it work?

JAWS 10 was never designed to work with Windows
7.  This could be causing some of your problems.
