[Hudlug] demoing the mac

[michael weaver]

i know this is a bit off topic and not strictly a linux question 
but i am looking for perhaps someone to give me a hands on 
demonstration of a mac.
if i am going to be sticking with the i-phone and linux distros 
such as ubuntu are not going to provide the ability to be able to 
backup the phone or upgrade the firmware i might have to possibly 
consider purchasing a mac.
this is why i am looking for maybe hands on demo of the mac with 
voiceover as huddersfield doesn't have an apple store for me to 
be able to get to to be able to have hands on experience with 
one.
i know that my befriender has a mac but don't know if it is 
portable or if he would risk bringing it around to my place if he 
does have one in notebook size.
we both have the similar phone so for him it is easier to upgrade 
the firmware etc than it is for me only using linux.
i had a brief look at wine to see if this was an option only the 
menus don't speak with orca.
i know because i tried the wine setup and got no access with the 
standard orca cursor and i couldn't even access any menus using 
f10 or the alt key.
