Shaun,
When you say things like, "Never the less I will wait 16 years for it to
work on Leopard," you probably don't realize how disjointed and non-sensical
that staement is on several levels. Pro Tools is not Leopard compatible yet,
period. you can't even use it with Leopard if you're a sighted user so stop
saying we can't even use it in Leopard -- nobody can. You will sound
ignorant when saying that to a knowledgeable person. Further, it's not as if
we blind users had nothing for 16 years. There's an example of ignorance for
you. Are you forgetting the fact that, for many years, blind Mac users could
use Pro Tools with outSPOKEN and were engaged in audio production that blind
Windows users could only dream about? It might help you to get facts
straight before you go spewing blanket statements.
Nice.

Subject: Re: ProTools: The path to accessibility
I am not bent on anything, actually I don't even use the software or have
no interest in using it, but my son does. You fail to understand my point
on my business ventures and financial welth. I built my foundation with
the help of my parents saying a handicap is in your mind. Never the less I
will wait 16 years for it to work on Leopard. My business is now in
training blind people how to use technology. I offer a better product for
less money. I would like to train them on Pro Tools but as it has been
said many times before it can't be done in this decade. I guess if we
handled it your way our grand children might be able to use it.

Shaun,
You seem to be bent on this question of whether we can or cannot use Pro
Tools with Tiger. The answer is clearly no. Is there still any question
in your mind? Hopefully not.
Your experience with the maker jof XMJB is fantastic -- congratulations!
thing is, working with an individual who is a tiny developer is not the
same as working with a corporation. do you see the difference?
Since money appears to be no object to you, what is your worry? hire a
sighted assistant to operate a Pro Tools system for you. Clearly with
your business savvy, you'll have no problem organizing that. You seem to
also think that someone's trying to sell you on an old Mac and a defunct
screen reader. Nobody here is trying to sell you on anything. Hey, while
you're starting up some businesses, why not develop a completely
accessible DAW from the ground up. You'd have a moral purpose and
thousands of customers. What do you say?
