oh man, you have absolutely right.
is why apple gives more emphasis on accessibility for ios system.
I myself have understood this a long time.
best for everyone is buying an ios device and have the future in their
hands.
I'm selling my iMac to buy an iphone 5 S.
exactly because I can do everything and even more than I do on mac.
and I'm sure I'll have a more updated support accessibility on ios than
the mac.
I have no doubts that I am going on the right track ...
cheers.

I've been using a mack for 6 years now and have no reason to prefer a
PC these days. Having said that, this will be my last ever mac. When
it is ready to move on in another couple of years, the personal
computer itself will be on the longtail and it just won't make any
sense to invest in another personal computer, mac or PC. In fact, an
increasing number of my clients are just as effective on a tablet or
smart phone as they are on a computer, and it meets all of their day
to day computing needs very well, including: email, web browsing, web
applications such as apps and mobile banking, OCR reading, bar code
identification diabetes and other medical monitoring, non-verbal
communication, literature access in braille, large print and audio,
and more. The world of office tasks has now opened up to us using IOS
7 and android 4.4. Several printing solutions are accessible
including the samsung one that I am currently using. Simple audio
production tasks are viable. And we have access to features that
aren't really viable on pc's such as security systems management, and
GPS navigation. Soon we'll have micro-location support and many other
opportunities that will encourage us to leave the desktop/laptop world
behind. It may behoove you to simply invest more time learning IOS
and picking up apps and accessories that enrich your experience in the
mobile world, rather than investing in a switch to an expensive new
technology that will be obsolete in three years. We are just now
stepping inside the time frame where cost vs efficiency of PC systems
is about to become a serious concern in the consumer market.

have no desire to switch back to a PC.
Original message:
Hi Everyone,
As I said previously, I am thinking about getting a Mac and the main
reason is that I am tired of the increasing instability of the PC
environment. My first question is, is this really different on a Mac?
I am using JAWS 15 with Windows 8. Both are not all that stable. I
have been a JAWS user for 17 years and I have noticed a definite
progressive increase in instability with the last few releases. JAWS
crashes frequently and, even if it doesn't crash, it often stops
talking when errors occur with other applications. Then, there's
Windows 8. I don't mind the Windows 8 interface but several times
per week, I will have a problem that requires me to restart my
computer. I did not have that nearly as much with Windows 7. Also,
it isn't unusual for me to install a program which will, either
directly or through add ins, make Windows and/or JAWS more unstable.
I then have to decide rather the additional functionality is worth
the increased instability. I'm just tired of all the crashes and
reboots and having to use three or four screen readers because I
have to run one when another one crashes.
By contrast, my iPhone and iPad, while not perfect, are certainly
more stable. VoiceOver seldom just stops working. Of course, every
single app is not accessible and they do not all work correctly but
any problems with an app are almost always confined only to that
app. When an app crashes, it usually does not also cause VoiceOver
or the device to crash. Is this also true of the Mac?
I have certainly used technology enough to know that none of it is
perfect. However, I would like something that is better than the PC,
when it comes to stability. Over all, in your experience, is the Mac
more stable?
Thanks,
Scott Duck --
