I've used fusion and window-eyes. It works very nicely. It worked a lot better when there was a proper number pad on the portable mac keyboard, but it still does very well. Best, Erik Burggraaf APlus certified technician and user support consultant Call toll-free: 1-888-255-5194 Visit my all

One thing may be a perception that you are splerging and treating yourself. Given that, an extra hundred or two for the pro doesn't really seem out of the way. I thought my next macbook purchase would be a macbook standard or possibly a 13 inch macbook pro. But when I saw how much more config

Hi, If it is not an aluminum Macbook, I don't think it has it. However, if it does, go straight downwards from the 1/8 inch jack plugs almost all the way to the bottom, and check for a small, circular indent. It's not that noticeable if you don't feel around carefully for it. Regards, Nic Mobi

Hi, Yeah. I use NVDA all the time, and it works great. The good thing about NVDA or System Access is that you don't need video intercept. On occasion, I have had to reinstall JAWS completely a few times for that to install properly. That is the only issue I have had, though. Regards, Nic Mobil

Yep. Works fine. You'll have to somehow get an insert key, but otherwise, no problem at all. (I used sharpkeys to remap my right option key to insert and right cmd key to context. No number pad on the Macbook Pro). It also works great with System Access. Haven't gotten around to trying NVDA yet,
