That isn't the main idea of this patision. I strongly feel if we can get a
company like Digi Design involved then we can get Mark of the Unicorn and
Then for Though of Who still use a Mac All of us will have more Of a chois.
I think this patision is importand enough because as you know, Much of the
recording studios still use Pro tools. I get calls from clients and their
first question to me is, "Do you have Pro tools?" The truth is I would have
lost some of my clients if I didn't use Pro Tools. I don't see it as a"bius
as much as a chance to get the market expanded for more chois. The more we
can get these companys awareness of the need for accessibility, for the
Blind and Parshly Blind, The easier it will be one dayfor all of us. I'm
glad that Sonar works so well for you and That you are able to take your
place in the work force. IT's a big step for a person to learn any of these
programs. So lets not wory about bius as much helping one another.
Thank you for taking the time for this patision.
Sincerely
David Dobler

Hi,
I'd still encourage you to sign up - a multi-pronged effort will definitely
carry more clout. If you'd be happier signing a more general petition,

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
