Hello all, I have not used the mac computer systems in about fifteen years but am making the final decisions for my purchase of an IMac. Does anyone have advice. I am a totally blind user. I have decided it will be most useful to bootcamp my computer so as to have scanning capabilities. I am told there is no accessible software on the Mac for my scanning needs? I ahve been using kerzweil. Right now I am planning to go with Freedom Scientific's openbook and the Freedom Scientific Pearl which is portable and uses a camera rather than a flat bed scanner. Before I make that commitment I want to be sure there is nothing out there for the Mac. I am planning to use iwork but there have been some suggestions I go with Microsoft for Mac. I currently use Jaws 11 on a windows 7 with Microsoft office 2007. My primary uses on the computer are: word processing, excel, e-mail and internet searches as well as scanning outlined above. I have no technical background. It was suggested I get 500 gb and a separate 500 gb external drive for backup rather than the 1 terabite. If anyone has any advice to throw in before I make the final purchase decisions, that would be great. E-mail off list can be sent to: sbal...@nexicom.net Thank-you, Sharon in Canada
