[nabs-l] why I want a mac

[Beth]

Here's my story:
	I failed university in Florida because of a complicated 
situation dealing with where I was located and my family was 
trying to have more control over my goals and vocational 
stuff.  I failed again because of lack of tech support.

It really sounds like you're just trying to jump on the mac band 
waggon.
Great, "universal" accessibility. Now call apple and ask a 
voiceover
question. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It sounds 
like
you're changing your mind as to why you want it, which is fine I 
guess,
but you really need to figure out why it is you need a mac. You 
get good
tech support from a lot of companies that sell pcs too, so that's 
out as
well.

Basically here's what this comes down to.
You can keep complaining about dvr and not getting a mac. You've 
said
you failed college twice already, and they won't put you through 
it
again. At this point, you need to accept whatever you can get,
compromize and work with them. Going in requesting a $1500 system 
and
holding to it when they already have issues about putting you 
through
school for the third time isn't going to get you anywhere. It's 
all your
choice, just wanted to throw all that out there.

 Hi, all.
 To explain why I would like a Mac is simple: universal 
accessibility
 integrated into the product.  Also, I really want something with 
good
 tech support.  The tech support people from India sometimes 
don't
 speak good English, and given the demographics of india and its
 people, blindness is not thought to be a good thing in India.  
So if I
 said, "Whuat do I do because JAWs isn't working?"  They'll have 
no
 answer for me.  That's all I can say.  There are other reasons I 
want
 a mac, and I want to be able to use one so bad.
