but I'm sure you can find it from the offiicial site. Betanews is
reliable and so that is why I use it. As for itunes 8 accessibility,
it's deffinitly a step forward, but it's not the most accessible piece
of software. Now more then ever, I hope the other feature not talked
about in fs cast is Itunes support, because it's needed. In it's current
state it's useable by people like me who like playing around, but it's
not very easy to use from an accessibility standpoint in my opinion. I
haven't tested it with windoweyes, but the twitter traffic I've recieved
on the issue tells me that aparrently it works better with WindowEyes,
totally inexcusable IMPO.
