And don’t hesitate to use tools like parallels if you need windows! The Mac is my primary computer now, super glad to have converted back over in October! But I spend about 20 hours a week and windows because there’s just a few things that are easier with the access technology available there. VOCR is the secret if you’ve ever heard the parallels isn’t accessible, it’s not, but once you get it all set up, your interactions in parallels is windows. https://tweesecake.social/@doubletap/110842303420165728

So many people on my feed here getting interested and excited by using the Mac for the first time, or perhaps after a period away. It’s extremely heartening to hear your experiences and I am loving all the things you are finding out. I’m learning a lot too thanks to your excitement so please, if you ever hesitate on a message because you think we all know already, please send it anyway. We all don’t know everything so keep sharing! It’s wonderful. #blind #accessibility
