Hi, I can put my 2 cents worth in on the second question, but first, let me say that i like Chris don't want to flame or blame anyone, but the fact of the matter, at least as i heard it is this: In v11 of Pro tools, all the accessibility related things in V10 that was broken still are, plus now, som popup buttons can't be worked with anymore. To be honest with y'all, it seems that for every new update coming out, one more small accessibility thing gets broken. To be even more honest with you, i'm really getting worried about the future of Pro tools and its accessibility. /Krister
