Re: [Avid-L2] Re: News: Avid Offers Unprecedented Limited-Time Symphony 6 Crossgrade Promotion

Interesting. I'm so used to typing in numbers when I can't get there myself
that I didn't even notice that really. Seems much more fine control than
mouse, I hadn't really considered that it wouldn't be enough - but that
makes sense. It's something I'll watch for when I'm playing with it in
Symphony next.
