I'm glad to meet you. I've been playing with
Pro Tools since 4.3.1, and my

MacOS 9. I've often wanted to migrate over to Windows, but we'd lose all of

platform will improve by leaps and bounds.} someday soon.
I'm running Blackbox - we seem to be cousins.
Maybe a dedicated video/audio editing workstation with a Blender/Combustion
style interface done in SDL? It would be a great way to harness all of those
command line audio programs.
