While I do agree that will see them in schools and so on, it will be a long while before you see them in most businesses. That's the sad part.
A lot of people who are seeking employment can certainly learn and use the mac, and, hopefully they do. However, they will also have to learn windows, because, that's what's being used in main stream America. Also, I still find there are some things that I can't do on the mac efficiently enough to be fully productive. Spreadsheets are still somewhat of a problem. I know that numbers works, but, not as well as Excell with jaws or windowEyes. I hope that will change in the vary near future. Also, on my job, we do a lot of Braille translation. I don't know of a good translator for the Mac. Hopefully, someone will set me straight on that 1. On Apr 15, 2010, at 4:55 AM, Ricardo Walker wrote: > I think it's happening slowly already.
