[ddots-l] Re: [MIDI-MAG] Dancing Dots Releases CakeTalking for Cakewalk SONAR 3: New Possibilities for Independent Audio Production by the Blind

Like I always say, "Blindness is an expensive nuisance."  This is just
another thing that drives the point home.  To the extent that problems
can be solved by simply marshaling financial resources, life could be
worse.  I'll always take that over the absolute inability to correct a
problem.   Not that it's ever easy to get money you don't have, but it
is easier than trying to manufacture a solution that flat doesn't exist
anywhere.  Imagine a world where there was no CT or SS.  Imagine the
music the world would never hear.  Most of my life, this stuff just
could not be done at all.  With this in mind, I'll do what it takes to
get the bread.  
I mean no disrespect to anyone.  That's enough out of me.

I understand, if that's the case. It's just upsetting when we need to
spend more than the main stream. At this point, I don't know who to
blame. Douk
