Hi,

Given that we know there are VO improvements in 10.6.5, given that we can 
assume that many of the Track Pad features are borrowed from a perfectly 
accessible OS, given that Expose and Spaces are of limited use now whereas it's 
almost certain the Launchpad will be accessible due to its IOS based design, 
and given that Apple are trying to make things easier for *everybody*, I think 
we have pretty much reached the point where we can actually take it for granted 
that there will be new features for us. They have so much to shout about that 
things just get assumed unless they are real departures. I really must start 
playing with my Track Pad more!
