[Nfb-krafters-korner] PC Vs. Mac

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Well I will not give up my computer for anything.  I prefer my desk  top, 
but I have an older laptop.  My daughter gave me her old laptop around  the 
same time I had to get my new desktop.  So I really haven't done much  on the 
laptop besides put JAWS in it.  I need to get the wireless internet  
working on the laptop as we had some trouble with A T & T and they came out  and 
put a new router in, and the laptop needs another hook up try.

I have  always been a PC user as well. Those questions are great for me as 
well!  The only product that I have ever owned from Apple was an Ipod 
nanno. 
I  recieved it as a Christmas gift. I was not one who was particularly  
interested in getting an Ipod but I do love music so when I got it, I  
might 
have fun with it as long as the right music was put on it. I enjoyed  that 
little Ipod for a month or two until it stopped working for me. I  wound up 
giving it away in the end. I have never had an Ipod since then. I  was not 
even into the Iphone except for what it looked like since I had  not seen 
one 
until one of my NFB friends showed me their's. I was not into  a flat 
screen 
of anything in less someone could find a way for me to use  it without 
site. 
I only showed interest in the Iphone 4s when one of my  blind friends 
started 
raiving about it and then showing it off once they  got one for Christmas. 
I 
have been very impressed with what an Iphone 4s  can do ever since. My 
family 
was very surprized that I wanted an Iphone  when I told them. When my 
younger 
sister asked me about wanting an Iphone,  I told her that it was not just 
an 
Iphone but it was an Iphone 4s with an  awesome screen reader and serry. I 
can't wait until I get my own Iphone  4s! I will still always be loyl to 
the 
PC computer. I don't plan on giving  up my PC laptop computer even with an 
Iphone.
