Hi,
I was using the index inbuilt translation but found it used to do odd things in
the text like braille a D instead of N etc - this could have been a settings
thing but it drove me mad so I ended up purchasing Duxburry

Hi!
THe Index Everest do the translation on board and to me this is very very good.
I had the Blista Btec 100 and no driver for it so i couldn’t emboss on the mac.

Hi Ibrahim,
Erik is probably right about virtualization, but I bought a MacBook Pro in
2017, after using an Air for eight years prior, and I really miss the light
weight and portability of the Air. the Pros are nice, and still pretty
portable, but the Air really comes out ahead in my opinion,
I think any modern apple device will be fine if you want bootcamp windows,
but I would still recommend a pro model with solid state and upgraded ram
for virtualization. Fusion really seems to kick the crap out of baseline
models in my experience.
Best,
Erik

Hardware wise the computer is perfect.

I think the best idea agreed on unanimously by the list is to set up a

audio applications and recording podcasts.

Thanks Sabahattin.
To get something that even comes close to this Mac on the PC I'd have to

Boot Camp might be the way to go.
This way I'd get the productivity and still keep OS X around for

Hi Jonathan,
I forgot to mention it's the Retina display model.
Not sure if this machine can be upgraded at least not without the proper
tools.
The flash chips might be soldered on as well as the RAM.
I could perhaps do some work on it myself but this might void the

It's harder to replace hard drives in newer Macs, but it can be done with the
