We won't stick an "Apple Fan Boi" sticker on you right away.

If I need to check something with a "real" screen reader, I always use my
MacBook and VoiceOver. Most of the on-line testing apps are OS neutral and
work as a browser plugin or through a website.

As I still don't really know my way around VoiceOver (I have to keep the
cheat sheet handy), I sometimes have to call on my screen reading friends
like @steveofmaine to put the site through its paces.

I regularly use Win7, but also have a machine with Win XP and one with
Ubuntu.
