This is interesting. This was not what I was told directly by a reliable source only a week and a half ago. I heard that Apple was fully behind VO development and are very much aware that issues exist and need to be fixed. I wonder what the actual truth is here, though I must say that I very much trust my source, as I met them in person?

I mention this here because it does concern me. And maybe we all need to contact apple. It's not that they are going to discontinue the project, but rather feel it's 'good enough' so no further resources need be allocated to it's development. There still needs to be a great deal of work on both VO, and on the Zoom feature. The tracking of Zoom, sucks. It just doesn't work much of the time, like as I type this message. maybe Apple should release the code as Open Source... - JD - John Denning AIM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] A+ MCSA MCSE And glad to be a Mac snob again!
