[gui-talk] Voiceover

[Dean Martineau]

Until one can read tabular data on the Mac on the web, the browser wouldn't
be worth much to me at all, and that would be a major reason why I wouldn't
get involved with Voice Over.  Tables are crucial for many things.

Hi, I love surfing the web on the mac. The speed of loading pages  
blows any windows browser or screen reader away. For one thing,  
there's no waiting around while a page is loaded in to a buffer. One  
site that is good for testing your screen reader's speed is  
empowermentzone.com. On the mac, this page loads in under 2 seconds. I  
have done many different things while browsing on the mac such as  
buying things on ebay, paying bills, etc, works great. Yes, safari is  
the browser of choice at this time.
