According to this article, the i stands for "internet" because, back in 1998 when the iMac was released, a computer which had the built-in ability to connect to the Internet was pretty radical, as was spelling Internet with a lower case i.

David Kingsbury, one of the technology instructors at the Carroll Center for the Blind here in the Boston area, had a book launch yesterday for his new book, “The Windows Screen Reader Primer: All the Basics and More,” and it is being made available as a free download on the Carroll Center website.

The book contains over three hundred pages, and covers the three commonly used screen readers--Jaws, NVDA, and Microsoft Narrator--and a wide range of programs, including Word, web browsers, PDF, PowerPoint, Excel, and some troubleshooting. I have worked with David as my instructor a number of times, including just a couple of weeks ago, and he would occasionally comment, "This is in my new book," so I know there is a vast amount of knowledge packed into those three hundred plus pages.

You can download the book by going to the following link and filling in a brief form:
