Latest MacBook ProMac

For some of you Mac enthusiasts, this may serve as a warning. If you have already come across the problem, and solved it, I'd love to hear from you. I needed a new laptop, and as I require access to administer our server from abroad, I wanted one with Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate. I also require access to a Mac to test and show people a newly developed version of some software. So, the MacBook Pro with dual boot using Boot Camp, was about my only choice. I'll spare the details of a completely wasted day, which concluded with a call to Apple UK, only to be told that the latest hardware and Boot Camp no longer supported Windows 7 - period! So that's the warning if you are considering a dual book Mac. Have therefore acquired a month trial version of VMware Fusion Pro, I do at least have Windows 7 installed, though it sure balked at having to install 321 Windows updates, reporting that memory was low. (The machine itself does have 8 GB of RAM and a 500 GB SSD drive) I'll spare details the specific problems I'm having, and simply ask if anyone has found themselves in a similar position, and might be will be chat off list about all this.

NVDA OCR addon and vmware screens
by David Mehler 05 Oct '15

Hello, Has anyone used the NVDA OCR addon to OCR a VMware screen? I've got a vm that I'm trying to boot which I'm sure is giving some error because it isn't working, I don't have sighted assistance so can't figure out what's up, and was thinking I might try the OCR addon on it. Has anyone done this? If so, I'd appreciate a procedure. Thanks. Dave.

Hello, Can anyone recommend an accessible FreeBSD vps provider? I'm looking for reasonable prices, accessible control panel and accessible web site the ones I'm looking at their sites aren't accessible so not interested in giving them my business. Thanks. Dave.
