Hi Chris,
This brings me to another question. Can you plug in an USB full Windows
keyboard and have it work on the MBA? I have one lying around here and it would
be nice to have a full keyboard when using the Window side in the virtual
environment.
thanks.

If you need occasional access to some Windows-only app a virtual machine
can be a nice way to do it. Of course, like a real Windows machine,
you'll have to install Windows and your screen reader of choice. The
only common complaint is mapping of the caps lock and insert keys.
Apparently the Mac
Chris,
I meant Duxbury as one of the programs that I would run on the virtual end of
my Mac. I couldn't get out of the spell checker before sending my last post.

Really?! How did you pull that off installing Windows with no sighted
assistance? Is there a step by step directions for a blind user that can
install Windows? I searched everywhere on Google, and I can’t find anything. Or
I’m just not looking at the right place.
Thanks!

Daniel,
If you use fusion, you won’t need sighted assistance. You can either use a
physical dvd if you have one or an iso file.
things can get hairy after the installation of windows before you get any
speech loaded, though. This is my experience, anyway. I have an installation
of win 7 righ
Hi Chris,
I have a few questions for you using VMWare.
1. I have a OEM copy of 8.0 (not professional). Will this work with VMWare? Its
never been opened.
2. Can VMWare be placed on an external HD that has been partition to handle
both the Mac/PC?
3. Do you need to allocate RAM and SSD HD spa
Chris,
Thanks for that info. I was told when I got my Mac that Virtual box was not
access able, so that why I used Bootcamp to dual boot. But thanks for pointing
out that Fusion is fully accessible. So maybe later on I will try that out wen

Let the unix variant geek wars begin! So the terminal or shell is where

Apple acquired Next and brought Steve Jobs back to the helm. Next Step

So if I really wanted to run a program only Windows, I would have to have a
virtual solutions program on my Mini. Most things one can do work fine on Mac,
Right?

Virtualization products like VMWare, VirtualBox and Parallels are apps
which emulate the bare hardware of a physical PC. So, in theory, you
launch one of those and you'll get a basic PC ready to do your bidding.
Most people use them to load Windows on but you can load an OS that

Really?! Lately what I heard the virtual apps were not accessible. That’s why I

I guess I’m going to look up Fusion. Is Parallel accessible too?
My goal is to have Windows 7, and Windows 8.1 and a Linux or two.

Technically it pretty much allows you to install any OS you want.
Windows is the most widely used, but it's also useful for running
linux/bsd instances.

No, the mac terminal isn't BSD. It has bits and pieces of BSD, but it is
different. I wish for my libraries to compile successfully on BSD, not
the cobbled mess OSX has put together.

I’m very new to list, and still very new to screen readers and Macs.
I was wondering what is VMFusion? Is a virtual program for Windows?

thanks a ton for these links, that's awesome.
Also: virtualbox is just a virtualization solution. I have 16 gb ram, so
I figured I'd give 4 of that to a bsd box so I could test my libraries
and that on BSD as well.

That is very true, and a good point. Unfortunately, I was never able to find
any tutorials or even manuals for getting started with the command line
interface to Virtualbox. Still, it is definitely worth looking into.

I thought Virtualbox was controllable through the terminal so you don't
have to use the GUI. From the manual:
"VBoxManage is the command-line interface to VirtualBox. With it, you
can completely control VirtualBox from the command line of your host
operating system. VBoxManage supports all the

Fusion is $60 last I checked, at least for a personal license. No, virtualbox
is not at all accessible. Someone once posted a quick tutorial on using it to
set up a VM on Windows which you'd then import to the Mac. Still, when I gave
it a try, audio in the vm was extremely low and nothing I did
