It has been reported on the PC-audio list that a wellknown blind audio expert and contributer to Main Menu and other services has died recently. It is said he took his own life, but I cannot verify this, and haven't seen an official announcement from his family or friends which would confirm this. I think Michael was second to none in his presentations and knowledge of portable audio devices and he will be greatly missed. From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx
