We purchased the software, tested the software, re wrote code,
presented it to Apple and sent a certified letter return receipt
requested. I don't need to represent the community with a bunch of
signatures especially if Apple can see that their is no accessibility
built in. It is a matter of if they want to do it voluntarily or not.
Either way it gets done. I don't work on sound recording mainly
because it isn't accessible, but my son is the minister of music, a
studio owner and a Pro Tools user. As a father I would like to join in
the fun of production and recording, but as it is I can't. I wonder if
those who didn't actually work for the company would say if they
weren't getting a free ride on old equipment. Please don't wait on me
to see how fast my results are, clearly you have a life time and life
long plan to bring Pro Tools current in this life time. I can't speak
for others unless I can put Pro Tools on my Mac and say it works,
other than that I say when I tried to use it on Windows or Mac it
didn't. When I contacted the company they told me they were working on
it. Well now I am asking how much longer will they will be working on
it?

We'll see how fast Sean can get results with Apple.
If there is anything the rest of us can do Mr. Jones, by aall means,
let us know what to do.
Generally, I would suggest creating some coordinated means of
receiving input from Logic users to document what works and what
does not. You might also establish a list of priorities in terms of
basic usability versus complete access to all features, versus
extended access that might include shortcuts to status info etc.
You will want the ability to talk the tech speak intelligently with
them while you are there.
Best of luck to you. Perhaps a public expression of support similar
to the Pro Tools Petition might be used to demonstrate the support
you have from the community, before you go representing the
community directly to Apple.
Just a few tyips for you there.
Waiting patiently,
