This is an interesting and valid discussion only spoiled by those of us prefer 
Macs being referred to by the derogatory term “Fan boys” and the assumption 
that we’ll be down on anyone who disagrees with us.  Throughout my career I’ve 
advocated and campaigned for choice and equality for disabled people and would 
never say that everyone should make the same choices as I do.

Jacky,   hi   I agree I have a mack as well,   I hate it love the phone and I

don't enjoy using it.  I appreciate I am nowhere near as clued up on it as I
am in Windows, and I admit that this influences my thinking.  I have just
purchased a Dell XPS13, but the equivalent spec on a Macbook Pro would have
cost me easily £600 more, and offered me a lot less connectivity.

I appreciate it is all subjective, and if you Mac guys are happy with your
lot, then good for you.  But I would never be drawn away from Windows on a
full-time basis no matter what problems I come up against.

Hi Mo,

Ably backed up by this article too:-

http://www.hartgen-home.org/node/47

I don't believe that in a working environment, Voiceover is nearly good
enough, compared to Windows screen readers.

All the best

Steve

Hi.
This is a very well written article which I found very interesting. Macs
aren't all they're cracked up to be it would seem...

Cheers,
