Re: Leopard Braille Support

[Scott Howell]

You know generally I'd just agree with this comment, figured it was  
said, and not add to the thread. However, this also is a real concern  
to me as well. Those who have signed on to test Leopard has agreed to  
comply with Apple's NDA. This is a legally binding agreement and in  
and of itself should be enough. I understand the interest and  
enthusiasm in what Apple is planning and going to release, but  
obtaining beta software illegally or discussing it does a disservice  
to the general community and Apple. Furthermore, this behavior could  
very well make it difficult for Apple to consider asking for  
participation in future beta projects. It also very well could send  
the wrong message to those who may be considering a switch to the Mac  
as they may be waiting for Leopard to see what improvements,  
enhancements, etc. may be in the next version before purchasing a  
Mac. You start commenting on what may or may not be there servces no  
one in the end. It would be considerably better to simply wait and  
see what comes of it.
Finally, beta testers who violate the NDA only prove to others they  
aren't very trust worthy.
	So, please consider that allowing things to run their course does  
more in the end than discussing what may or may not be in the next  
release. Of course a wish list of features being discussed is fine,  
it might be beneficial as if not most beta testers may very well here  
as well as possibly a rep from Apple who just might read of a great  
idea that could find itself in Leopard or some version of the Mac os.
