You know, Mavericks... the new OS that just came out yesterday for OSX. I'm
a developer, so I saw the OS way way before nondevelopers did, but I
couldn't really say anything about it prior to the official release
yesterday, as I was on a strict nondisclosure agreement: NDA. As you
remember I'm sure, in Mountain Lion OSX 10.8, a ton, and I do mean, a ton!
of things accessibility wise were broken. Now, most of them have been fixed
to the point where if you were running something like Snhow Leopard, or Lion
on your studio machine, you pretty much could now update it to Mavericks and
have the same equal accessibility without all those stupid accessibility
flaws that neither myself, Kevin, nor Slau or anyone could quite figure out.
I'm definitely going to be writing Apple Accessibility. I might get a
canned response, and most likely, probably will, knowing my experience
there, so just know that up front, but I'm at least going to write and tell
them it works, and to keep up the great work! I think if we do that, it'll
really encourage them to keep accessibility updates forward coming. This
just goes to show, I think Apple really all this time with our complaints
about Mountain Lion with PT have been listenning. I confess, you're
probably wonderring, well Jesus, Chris! Why didn't you try PT during the
developer stage. I did! Very! Very! thoroughly. I also have been talking
a bit with Avid as well as Slau behind the scenes. Slau didn't know this,
and I certainly don't feel that I can compare with Slau's work. I'm not
even anywhere near! as committed as he is, Note to slau: take that as a
really huge complement, but I will say that I have talked with a few support
people there. Probably no one as high up as Slau has talked with, but,
trust me, I can tell you now that our voices have been heard, and it just
goes to show with this Mavericks OSX 10.9 update. I just simply couldn't
say anything earlier. I've known now for some time that PT worked really
well in Mavericks, I just couldn't tell you so at that time due to the NDA.
Anyway, again, I'd like to congratulate Slau, Kevin, and all others who have
worked on this list with Avid and with Apple so generously to better improve
accessibility. It paid off!
Chris.
