Hi Scot.
I've seen enough people using the net successfully on a mac to make me think
it's doable, just with much less easy commands from the demo I had today.
It struck me that a mac was the best option, sinse I have no interest in
post xp windows, or rather post xp windows offers nothing that xp doesn't
do better apart from the internet, where as with a mac I'll get
compatibility with my Iphone and a different set of programs to play with.
true, no games, but there are some things online I've wanted to do such as
starting a blog which might be more possible on a mac than currently with
xp, and who knows what happens in the future.
Beware the grue!
Dark.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Good browser game for learning vo
Hi Dark,
I have to offer a note of caution that a Mac as a machine primarily
for browsing probably isn't a wise move. For one thing, though there
have been a recent spate of bug fixes, browsing with VoiceOver still
leaves much to be desired if you need efficiency. For another, the
transition to either a different browser or a different version of
Windows would be quite a lot cheaper and less effort. Don't get me
wrong, there are things that the Mac does well at (enough for me to
have owned several of them), but IMO browsing isn't one of them. Even
on I7 machines with SSD's and 8gb of RAM or more, I frequently get
busies from VoiceOver for extended periods when browsing ... a joy
that you won't have experienced yet if you're coming at this from an
iPhone.
Just some food for thought
Scott

much of my activities off it (for one thing Itunes is evil), however net
browsing and xp isn't being friendly due to microsoft being stupid.
I'll still of course have my xp machine for games and probably most
things,
however obviously I'd like to get used to vo on a mac and nothing helps
so
much with that than games.
i know that there aren't many dedicated games for mac (virtually none in
fact), however, it would be great if there were some games kicking
around
that I could practice using vo on. I'm thinking particularly of things
like
browser games, sinse it's net browsing I'll be doing, maybe interactive
fiction or other text games.
Any suggestions? oddly enough iI'm not particularly playing any browser
games at the secondd, though as I said any thoughts would be good.
All the best,
Dark.
