Slau, as I said I don't think it can do any harm to extend a hand of friendship to them now. Then they at least know of us and know that we struggle with some accessibility things. They might just mention us or something about accessibility to someone at Avid over a lunch meeting or in passing. Thi

Guys, Your enthusiasm is great and everybody wants this to happen. Public support is a good thing but there's a time and a place to call upon it. It's a card you get to play a very limited number of times and now is not the time. It might be in the future. I hope not, of course, but we're hopef

Hi Brian, I did happen to catch those mentions on Pensado's Place but I didn't expect that to go down exactly in that manner. At any rate, it's all good in the end and perhaps even better. More to come :) Slau On Nov 11, 2012, at 6:39 AM, Brian Casey wrote: > Slau, great stuff, i also notice

As usual, excellent work mate, and thank you for all you're continuing to do to keep PT accessible. As someone just diving into XCode, accessibility does seem to be slightly less self-explanitory than I thought, so fair play to the boys at Avid. Anyways, the interface builder is a cruel mistres
