Hi, Bruce,
I head some of those sound schemes at the NFB convention. Although I will
never be a power user, I thought all that was just another layer of stuff
to learn without increasing access to applications of various kinds. I have
seen quite a number of people on the lists wanting access to applications
necessary for their work. Maybe for some people all those sounds will be
helpful, but I find too many of them to be no more than a serious distraction.
