Of course the article doesn't say anything about who was let go? Were they staff who had been with Humanware before the takeover? Did they get rid of people who had experience in the blindness field? And another thought? Earlier in this group, I wrote that ks 7.5 seems like it was beta tested poolly if at all. It is interesting that 7.5 came out AFTER the 8 were sacked. Could this mean that the new staff aren't as capable as the old staff? Maybe these 8 positions, at the least, should have been converted in to beta testers? Rusty
