Good day,
While I don't wish this thread to use up much more of my time, I'll
chime in for a few words. Although I am impressed with how much money
one can make from a law suit, I don't believe that this type of action
is productive at this point. I do believe that in some cases, if all
other means have been exhausted, that legal action does need taken. i
also believe that working with someone brings far better results than
working against someone. We as consumers are not in the development
business and are not always privy to the inner goings-on of any given
company. Take Apple for instance, accessibility of itunes was a
contentious issue on this list quite often then one day it just became
accessible via a Software Update. OS X itself was not accessible
until Tiger. Considerable improvements have been made without legal
action. A certain huge corporation that makes an office suite of
programs has yet to make their suite accessible as far as I'm aware.
Numerous web-browsers are not yet accessible. Shall I go on. I
suspect that Pro-Tools for OS X was not designed with accessibility in
mind considering that OS X at its onset was not accessible at all. I
believe it takes a considerable amount of work to re-work code that is
as complicated as Pro-Tools. It is far more than simply labeling some
buttons. Now maybe I'm just not a very passionate person, and thus
don't get my snot in a not about much,but I'd rather fight a battle
where I feel that no efforts are being made instead of one where
progress is being made, albeit slow..
Oh well, I'll shut up now. Sorry to have drug this one on any further.
Later...
