[Nfb-krafters-korner] PC Vs. Mac

[Blindhands at aol.com]

There is a new learning curve with any thing.  I am very good with  JAWS, 
but every time they come out with a new version there is another learning  
curve.
 
So if you are use to a PC or Mac if you decide to switch you need to learn  
the other one.
 
More blind folks are purchasing MAC and that is due to cost  effectiveness. 
 A MAC comes with the newest screenreading software onboard  already 
developed by Apple.  So if you need to upgrade JAWS or purchase it  on your own 
and purchase a PC it is less to purchase a Mac.
 
The new JAWS is due out this month if they have it ready to go.  If  not it 
will be out between September and the end of the year.
 
I purchased the service contract or whatever they call it for JAWS and this 
 is my last upgrade and I will have to renew it.

I found the mac was a learning curve and still is.  I  generally enjoy it 
now but it took a while.
There are tetorials for the  blind and lots of help online.
There is also a braille manual  available.
