Edward, For a great demo of voiceover and the mac's web browser, head over to the blind cool tech web site. Then, search for the words mac demo. I don't want to spoil it, but one of the really cool things about no buffers is that you get to see information change on the page dynamically as it happens. Mike, the presenter of the podcast, goes to sirius satellite radio's web site, and shows you how you can view information with voiceover as it's changing. The nice thing is you don't have to do any virtual buffer refreshing commands or any other of that nonsense. I think an audio demo of the mac will do more for you than any of our descriptions can. If you want me to post the direct link to you, please let me know. But needless to say, I am a happy mac convert.
