[blindkid] MacBook Pro

[Bonnie Lucas]

I am aware of some blind computer users who use the MAC and swear by it. I'd 
ask on the NABS list and see what you come up with. A man who was at the 
blind school when I was uses it but for a student planning on going to 
college, I just don't know. I believe there are also some blind Mac  users 
groups as well. It's certainly worth looking into.
