Re: stepping down my involvement with Pro Tools accessibility
Hello to the list. I must have mist something and I am concerned. I must have mist one of Slau's messages. Who is taking over these efforts to make sure Protools if finally accessable to us as totally blind screen reader users? Does this mean the end of any hope at all or what is happening. Kenneth Son.

Re: stepping down my involvement with Pro Tools accessibility
Hello list. Just downloaded the messages and am concerned. I must have mist one of slau's messages. What is happening with the group trying to insure Protools is accessable to us? Is someone different taking over Slau's position in doing this? We have come so far just wonder what is happening? Thank you. Kenneth Son.
