			Blind people are always bashing Macs, but no 
one seems very willing to tell me how to live with them. I will, yes 
will, be living with them here at work. I certainly have other 
options at home, but I do not here. I opted not to use a Windows/Mac 
hybrid because I wanted things to look the same way for me as for the 
other users.

Do any of you use Macs? If so, how do you like them? I personally 
think they're much easier to operate in some regards, because they 
have fewer keystroke commands. My contention, however, is that 
they're much less stable than Windows machines.

Student journalists need to understand that many newspapers use them 
because they're so good at graphics. We as blind journalists need to 
keep the Mac developers on their toes so we can have an easier time 
of it. I personally want more access for Mac users, not to simply 
dodge the issue and go home and use Windows.
