[nfbcs] Running JAWS on Windows on a Mac - Issues?

[Aaron Cannon]

I work for a company called The Nerdery, doing web development using python and php and sometimes JavaScript. I ended up with a Mac running windows when I requested xp. it was the only machine that tech services felt confident that xp would run on. seemed a little odd, but it seems to work.
