 RK> I guess they arn't worried about piracy.

Russ,
      You know, every now and then I am tempted to leave a message that
might sound like I am flaming, but in all honesty, I am just doing this
with a smile and if we were talking face to face you would
realize that it is not meant with malice, but rather just as a joke...

RUSS, WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!

     I think there have been messages from all the participating
software producers here about their thoughts on copy protection, they
have all stated how they are concerned about piracy, and they all have
measures to try and prevent piracy.  Not one of them, however, feels it
is necessary to lock their programs to a particular synthesizer in order
to protect their interests!

     How can you possibly believe that Artic is doing anything but
trying to maintain a monopoly in the market with their unique scheme?
                                                        Willie

... BlinkTalk, Dr. Deb and Silver in Pittsburgh!
