[blindlaw] Practicing law with a Mac

[Al Elia]

Yes to the first question. I don't know to the second. Using a mac makes 
it very difficult to collaborate with other attorneys who use Windows, 
primarily because VoiceOver support in MS word for Mac is not yet ready 
for primetime.

If you are already familiar with Windows and a Windows screenreader, I 
would recommend sticking with that for the time being, though it pains 
me to say that. I only use a Mac and VoiceOver because I've been using 
them for a decade, and am faster using them even with the limitations. I 
still have Windows running under VMWare, though, because there are 
things that currently require Windows (like dealing with tracked changes 
reasonably).
