The developer of Atlantis is looking into making it more accessible still, and adding automatic speech to it. There is a post on their suggestion forum I linked to a few days earlier about this. I think it would help if more people from this list contributed their thoughts, as it really is a good client and could be made even better with just a bit of tweaking. The link is http://www.riverdark.net/board/index.php?showtopic=846&view=getnewpost I encourage anyone on this list who might be interested in mudding on the Mac to please give it a look see and share your thoughts. If nothing else it might help convince the developer that a community is out there. Best, Zack. On Jul 11, 2011, at 9:14 AM, Christopher-Mark Gilland wrote:
