Hi Carol, when we announce a new version, that announcement is posted to the web site at the same time as it is put on these lists.
In future I'll hold off posting the audio demonstration of a new release until we can concurrently publish the User's Guide on which it is based. This will likely mean that people will have to wait until product release for these demos.

In addition, when you post features of an update to a Mailing List, followed by a tutorial, can those go straight up also? In addition - and this may help to include our deaf-blind users further - could a synopsis of that tutorial (often available before the version itself is released) be put into text and up on the site? (Maybe even someone on the list would be able to do it.) Please accept this in the spirit in which it is sent. I well appreciate that you may feel you can take no further action. -- Carol [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 16, 2006 12:34 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Confusion about 7.2 > Hi KC, it is completely unrealistic to expect us to stop producing audio > material because Deaf Blind people can't access it.
