I got my Mac directly from Apple.
As for your other question I've answered it before I'm an IOS
user yes.
There really isn't a feature that I like better than any other.

Hapy New year to you as well amy.Where were you able to get your
mac?
Second, do you use an Ipad? If so, what about IOS 7 do you like
the most,
and finally, Are you coming to nation convention? I called the
rosen center

Hello April,
Happy new Year to you as well.
I'm glad to hear that the Braille is coming along.
Do you live anywhere near Maryland or DC? If so I might be able
to help
both with the Braille and the Mac stuff as I am also a Mac user.
Amy

Happy New Year!
I haven't posted in several months. It seems the time has been
filled
with doctors appointments.
I am learning braille, though it's a slow process. My goal for
this year
is to read a braille book.
I not only have severe vision loss I have severe hearing loss as
well.
So, listening to the talking books is more exhausting than
reading on the
screen.
My Windows computer crashed twice and had to be reformatted
twice. We
determined that cost wise, rather than buying all the programs
for
Windows, It would be cheaper to buy a Mac Mini. I lost probably
a week
reformatting my computer twice. I have spent the last week
learning how
to use the Mac Mini. I have found that Dictation works well in
social
media, and not badly on e-mail. Though talking is exhausting.
Sometimes
it has trouble understanding me.
Now using it in Pages is another matter. It seems to crash if I
work in
a large file. Or, is it because the files were originally
written in
Word? Somehow, dictation doesn't seem to work nearly as well in
Pages I am
not sure why.
I am learning to use the speech command, although that too can
be
exhausting. Listening for long times is not easy. I have
attempted to
start using Voiceover. That program is really overwhelming. Of
course, I
never did use keyboard commands, as they confuse me. And the
few that I
did use are no longer relevant.
So I haven't been writing much. Although I have worked on my
cookbook.
It is coming along nicely.
Have a great day,
