Also, I've always argued against "ghetto" applications as they can rarely keep up with the state-of-the-art. I don't object to them, however, when they are "special purpose" like the APH recorder-and the user doesn't need the latest and greatest plug-ins and other cool stuff one can get on other audio programs, its a great deal for the money. Too often, we look at the price of a program made specifically for people with vision impairment and get outraged. Now, let's put a value on our time. For purposes of illustration, I'll use myself as an example - my largest consulting contract pays me $80 per hour. If the APH program saves me just 3 hours over its lifetime, I'm ahead by forty bucks plus the cost of the mainstream app. "Hey Einstein, Time is money and it's money I serve..." cdh On Sep 8, 2010, at 5:27 PM, Ken Perry wrote: > I like to argue this.
