Hi Anita. I don't remember if you were on this list when I joined 4 years ago,
but if so, welcome back. If you end up buying a new Mac, odds are whenever you
do, it'll probably be preloaded with the new OS, Yosemite. If it doesn't,
Mavericks has done what I need it to do. As for older OS's I don't think Apple
has Mountain Lion on the mac App Store anymore. And you can forget about Tiger
because chances are that your new Mac won't support it. As for asking questions
about my Mac and Voiceover, I hardly ever contact Apple Accessibility. I ask
all my questions right here and most people are very knowledgeable. Good luck
on whatever computer you decide to buy.

I'd go for a Macbook Air. With 4GB of ram, and 128GB of storage, you'd only
spend $899. I'd suggest upgrading the storage, though. The only differences
between the 11-inch and 13-inch are the price, an SD card slot in the 13-inch,
and smaller function keys on the top row, and arrow keys, on the 11-inch.
As to questions, Apple Accessibility is good, but I found it easier to email
this list when I was learning. Both are great resources, though, and nothing
stops you from using them both. Don't forget about www.applevis.com as well,
where you'll find forums, guides, podcasts, and so on. There's even a link on
the homepage for those new to the Mac.

Hi List,
I was on this list once before, and decided to join again, as i'm
trying to do my homework in the way of shopping around for a new computer. had
a macBook Pro for a very short time, but returned it, because i didn't feel
very accomplished after completing tasks and Apple Accessibility Tech support
was on the phone for hours, but couldn't grasp all concepts.
Since then, I've purchased a book on the subject, and its my hope that
i'll be better equipped to deal with my potential new computer as a whole.
VoiceOver is part of the OS I know, but whitch OS works best in the way of
accessibility, i.e., Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Tiger? Which model of the
macBook is the most usable and popular for blind users? i don't need anything
with extreme graphics, and don't think this would have any impact on VoiceOver
describing labeled graphics. Aren't that type of graphics and display more
visually appealing for the sighted? I know windows 8 is out, but feel the OS
has changed drastically, and feel a change is needed. Do people usually utelize
Apple Accessible tech support or this list for problems and questions? There's
only a limited amount of time that Apple Accessible tech support can help me,
and just wanna be sure I've covered all my bases properly.
Thanks,
Anita
