[gui-talk] VoiceOver -- was: Re: Microsoft security essentials

[Ray Foret Jr]

What you may have heard about things being more cumbersome on the Mac is flatly ridicules .  Although things can be scripted on Voice Over, it's not necessary.  You have to understand one fundamental thing about the Mac.  It's not Windows.  YOu can't expect it to behave and act the way Windows does.  There is a bit of a learning curve, but, honestly, it's possible to deal with.  After all, I did.  I and many others.  Blind computer users are buying Macs up like hot cakes.  Why?  Simple.  We're sick and tired of the legal shenanigans of a certain company which seems quite sue happy of late.  No, I'm not talking about GWMicro.  I respect what GWMicro is doing for financially poor blind customers.  IF I had chosen to stay with Windows, I would have gone with them.  But, I chose the Mac.

The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!
