the OS is good although different so takes a bit of getting use to. the
range of apps less so EG no office you can only really use the
applications integral in the operating system so for example like using
Windows and only having Wordpad for word processing. this is fine for
internet activities like web browsing and Email but not really a viable
option as yet for productivity based activities.

Subject: [access-uk] Accessibility of Tiger OS
Yup, have had a couple of total Mac fans raving about using apple mac'S.
I CURRENTLY USE WIN xp PRO WITH jaws 7 AND AM NOT UNHAPPY BUT I DID USE
A MAC SOME 10 YEARS OR SO AGO WHEN I COULD USE SCREEN-ENLARGEMNET
SOFTWARE. so MY QUESTION IS A GENREAL ONE AT THIS STAGE, ANYONE OUT
THERE USING A Mac AND IF SO HOW DO THEY FIND THE ACCESSIBILITY OF tiger
AND THE RANGE OF Mac programs available. Yeah I know any switch would
require a lot of dosh but that's not my key question at this stage.
Hopefully I won't be shot simply for even suggesting the switch from
windows to Mac!!
Look forward to receiving your comments,
cheers,
Phil
p.s. sorry about the caps lock being on for part of this!!!
