I do agree that outstanding bugs which effect everyone should be solved first, and wish list items such as internal ISA cards should be probably given lower priority. Greg ----- Forwarded message from deedra Waters ----- Date: Fri, 15 Mar 2019 17:00:55 -0700 From: deedra Waters To: Gregory Nowak Subject: Re: TODO file i would say we need to find out how many people are actually still using those i know of at least 2-3. if there are say 10 people that actually use those synths then maybe it's worth looking at. but honestly i'd focus on the main bugs first .  and i mean the bugs that really need fixing then after those are fixed then move on to the hardware synths if there's time.. personally it's been close to 10 years since i was able to have a hardware synth and with the stuff i carry around these days and with how bulky they can be it's not worth the extra back pain to worry about hardware synths. honestly at this point, i really wish someone would fix the garbled speach bug because it's largely why i dont use speakup  in the console any more. I have speakup as a backup at this point because it got too frustrating to use with garbled speech on a machine that's smp and no way i'm disabling cores just to have speech that's not garbled.
