[Nfb-krafters-korner] comments on Tech

[Terrence van Ettinger]

I'd say they're about as perfect as you can get, really, unless you  
perhaps design your own device specifically to the way your brain  
works and what your specific expectations/needs are. '-) I think  
about the only thing I've really found that I couldn't do with my  
Macc was load accessible games onto it, but that's even beginning to  
change. '-) And heck, I'd say the PC's less perfect than the mac-- 
I've even found pages that I look at on a PC and can hardly do  
anything with, then I go to my Mac and I'm able to work with them.
