[nabs-l] why I want a mac

[Ashley Bramlett]

Beth,
then what do you use now to write messages if the pc is ruined?
If you want a mac badly, have parents or a charity buy it for you.
BAsed on numerous comments here, it sounds like rehab doesn't buy macs.
Besides, you need to keep your windows skills up for employment. employers 
use windows pcs and they will hire applicants well versed in microsoft and 
windows applications.

True, Ignasi, the thing is my PC is not under warranty and is
broken.  So it doesn't work, and the ruined hard drive has to go
in the trash.  That's all.

Beth,
I don't think anyone is saying that you don't have reasons to
want a
Mac. I wanted a Mac because I find that it gives me a much better
user
experience than Windows did. I could afford it and I bought it.
Now...
If I couldn't afford my Mac and I had a pc that works just fine
could
I have convinced rehab to buy me one? Probably not, because I
didn't
really need a Mac. I just wanted one, which is very respectable
but is
also not rehab's problem.

Hi, all.
To explain why I would like a Mac is simple: universal
accessibility integrated into the product.  Also, I really want
something with good tech support.  The tech support people from
India sometimes don't speak good English, and given the
demographics of india and its people, blindness is not thought to
be a good thing in India.  So if I said, "Whuat do I do because
JAWs isn't working?"  They'll have no answer for me.  That's all
I can say.  There are other reasons I want a mac, and I want to
be able to use one so bad.
