Good morning Rob and everyone,

     For us this is all the more the reason to switch to the Mac. We 
talked to someone last night who is also seriously considering jumping 
the OS ship and buying a Mac the next time she needs a computer or 
wishes to addd a laptop to her technology powerhouse. We also know of 
several other blind individuals that are former Windows users who now 
own Macs and love them. We already own two iPhones and an iPad. We were 
surprised at how cheap the iWork Suite is compared to Microsoft Office. 
We're talking about $30.00 for the entire suite which no limitations on 
the number of devices on which iWork can be installed VS Microsoft 
Office at arount $500.00 plus the cost of a screen reader easily adding 
another $1000.00 plus the cost of SMAS, the hassles with authorization 
keys, etc. And let's not forget about Microsoft's unwanted spam messages 
urging users to upgrade to Windows 10. I really hope Congress calls out 
companies on the business of forced software upgrades. If you asked me 
it's about time legislation was adopted to stop this practice! Now we're 
off to church.
