- This will help ensure that accessibility becomes a standard, rather than a priveledge.

- At PCC we have quite a lot of faculty who want put their PPT files up on the web. Now that they have to pay for this tool, it is much more difficult to get them on board with converting them to accessible material. Making the old version available would go a long way to enabling accessible material from PPT on our campus. We are committed to meeting Section 508.
