wow, I can't believe that we are getting in to this heated debate like this. lol Kind of funny. I just wish they would hurry the hell up and drop this thing so we all can play with it! F**k all that BS you guys are talking. lol. In my experiences as a beta tester, Programmers don't want to do extra work to take something out of a 99.9 percent completed program. If the last beta was accessible and avid was directly in touch with blind people for their input, what would make anyone think that they would strip all that work out of the final product? that would realy mean undoing pretty much everything they did over the last months. How smart would that be? Just my thoughts.
