[gui-talk] moving to apple

[Ray Foret jr]

Hey, not to mention which, you can do an OS reinstall fully without sighted assistance should the need arise.  You can’t do that with windows.  Yeah, there are third party solutions which kind of get around that, but, their success is predicated on so much working correctly.  None of that mess with the Mac!!!


Sent from my Mac, The only computer with full accessibility for the blind built-in

Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray
Still a very happy Mac, Verizon Wireless iPhone6+ and Apple TV user!!!!!

Microsoft, for whatever reason seems to change the windows interface with each release.
