Thx: 

Anyone that's run Arturia's Moog Modular or mini-moog, or any of a dozen 
great vsti's, will realize that they just CAN't Do without them. And Wine 
makes a mess out of these plugins for starters, from what I can tell.
So I guess I've made the right choice.
No doubt linux is coming into it's own and I'll be able to dump the horrid 
Windohs for good one day. 

But not today. 

Cheers
