Greetings !

Apologies for this so-late response. My time is rather limited these days, and I wanted to have enough of it to compose this message.

First, great thanks to Ico for his first-class stewardship of the Consortium. We should at least get him a t-shirt. :)

Next, in good conscience I should remove myself from membership in the Consortium. Late last year I switched to a Mac Mini M1 for most of my music purposes. It's a tale in itself, but suffice to say that I had reached the Point Of Final Frustration with my Linux desktop box, and at the time the best solution was the M1. I continue to use Linux on my laptop. The desktop box is primarily a file-server now, though I do plan to revive its Linux music capability.

Finally, I hope you & yours are all healthy and doing well these days. The past few years have been difficult everywhere, I sincerely hope you've all taken good care of yourselves and will continue to do so. All blessings upon you all.

Best regards,
