Hello David: While in the interest of accessibility, I MIGHT have signed the petition, it was limited to ONLY the MAC operating system. This clearly reflects the bias of the petition designers. It leaves out the vast majority of us who work within the Windows operating system. Prior to losing the rest of my sight, I used ProTools in the Windows environment. . After that, I thought I was out of the recording business for a while, until technology caught up. I was so thankful to have products like Sonar and CakeTalking which truly gave me back my studio. No, Sonar may not be the recording industry system of choice, YET, but I'm very happy that we have something to work with. I really feel that promoting a competing product on Dancing Dots own mailing list, even through requesting petition signatures is really in very poor taste. This is not meant as a flame, just a user opinion, but if you'd like to continue the discussion off LIST!! my email info is included below. Thankyu Bill, David, Gord and the rest of your company for keeping the recording dream alive for so many of us. Sincerely Jeff Molzow jmolzow@xxxxxxx
