RE: [linux-audio-user] Sound on Sound, and Home Recording Magazine

Hi, --- pawL <pawl(a)attbi.com> wrote: It would be wonderful to pay $800.00 for a single user licensed Cubase that runs within Linux. It's especially encouraging to know that they'd shield us from those pesky software developers to whom us users provide backtraces on bugs and feature requests. Another encouraging benefit would be the inherint excitement of wondering about the state of development and scheduling of releases for bug fixes. And if Steinberg is really on their game, they could charge us $50.00 for "minor" updates. I don't know about you but, I am mortified by the prospects of subscribing to dev, user, and announcment lists where I daily read about bug fixes and feature additions, let alone being lured into participating by having my thoughts for solutions requested for by developers. I'm sure Steinberg would happily shield us from those damned annoying developers. Gawd it'd be great! Let's get a petition going. I keep people away from my wallet by not bathing. I think of it as my Stink-shield. It works like a charm. Maybe I could copyright the term "Cubase-User-Stink-Shield (CUSS)" and grant Steinberg a license for usury. I think it'd be a great tool for their marketing department; "Now Includes CUSS, a superior alternative to the GPL--a firewall that frees the user community from the program developers." Ah screw it. I'll just sit here and get drunk. ron "CUSS" parker __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
