Hehe!

Why does it always, whatever we're discussing, come back to PG/ Genesis on
this list? Very strange! I don't mind coz I'm a huge prog fan and my band
have a running gag about Genesis (and the Jesuit Order, who are every bit as
good for a gag).

I suppose that the whole PG/Genesis versus the Linux audio world came to a
head when PG flew Paul out to have him demonstrate Ardour to him. What song
was in your head on the flight over las- do you remember? Watcher of the
Skies? I can only presume it wasn't quite what Pete was after at the time
otherwise we'd have some marketing machine going right there.

Maybe we should have a separate LAU/LAD for those who prefer Collins
Genesis? ;)
