Yes, this is along the lines of the impression I received. Again, JD's source certainly might have other information, but it seems difficult to believe that VO will stop being developed, even if it is separate from the disability "department". However, as also suggested, it doesn't hurt sending Apple friendly, constructive reminders that we are here and care about future development of VO just the same. Complacency isn't a good thing either on our part.

Not impossible, but really hard to imagine. The bad press alone couldn't be good for them and they are in a position to gain a lot of sales from those in the disability community. Yeah maybe these folks aren't going to generate the same number of sales as the "normal" crowd, but a sale is a sale. And as previously stated, why would they be hiring folks if they were planning to cut back, that wouldn't make any sense. Scott
