I don't think it is fair to compare Voiceover to Orca or NVDA. Voiceover is a proprietary product, the other two are not. Orca runs on Linux, on which none of the MS products are available. NVDA runs on Windows and supports IE, Firefox, Outlook, Word and Excel. What else do you need? I agree with C

This is true you will need some vision around to do boot camp. But once you get it done, you will be ok. It is a matter of choice and how much ram your Mac will have. I would say to make it work great using the other ways you will need at least 4gb of ram. Can get by with less but 4gb will be much

I'm not convinced that the busy read busy bug is a Safari issue. I cannot test this without sighted help, but I've never heard sighted users complain about Safari hanging - at least not as much as we have done. It could be a VO issue. TC James - Original Message - From: "Jude DaShiell"

That problem also happens with safari on snow leopard. What we found out over at one s.m.m.u.g. meeting was that a monitor needs to be attached and turned on. Apparently the mac software waits for video updates and when it doesn't get them effectively hangs. It's like windows without a mouse
