Hello everyone:

I'm looking for an OUTSPOKEN "MAC" user! Now I realize that many
"MAC" users are, in fact, "outspoken" when it comes to comparing
their machines to the IBM PC, but in this case, I mean the screen
review program from Berkeley Systems.

At Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario Canada, we sell and
support both IBM and Apple products. As part of my job, I am
supposed to evaluate computers for their useability by disabled
persons. I haven't been able to knowledgeably recommend the
Macintosh because of its inaccessibility to me as a blind person,
until the advent of OUTSPOKEN. But before we invest a lot of money
both in hardware & software, I'd like to know if the expense is
justified. I have read all the company literature about OUTSPOKEN,
but have never seen a review in any of the many periodicals on
technology that I subscribe to.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can be of help.
