Hi Vince, I'm Allison from New York. I recently took the plunge and switched to the Mac in April. I can't say that I'm good at operating it yet, but I have learned from all the folks on this list. I still have my Windows PCs around just in case I need to use Windows again. I don't miss viruses, spyware etc, but I have to use a Windows PC at work and rely on Window-Eyes. I think that Apple has done so much for improving and out of the box accessibility. I am happy to meet you, Vince, and I hope you enjoy your journey.
Sincerely, Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar! On Nov 9, 2010, at 4:51 PM, Kawal Gucukoglu wrote: > Hi Vince. > > Great to see you on this list and welcome.
