Thanks for the chuckle, Craig. But it's a little unsettling. I'd like to think that the social group I've chosen to hang out with is a little more, uh, sane.

OK well help me out. if I buy the box. I will only get updates for a year is that right?

Man, I don't neccesarily agree with the change but I understand it. It scares me that so many people can't grasp the concept. Even after it is explained several times. How do they figure out investments or cash flow or down payments etc.? I figure I must be obtuse about a lot of things as well. 

He's higher all right.

Where is the hover car we were promised?

Now, excuse me while I jump into my Jaguar; I need to board my private jet for the usual weekend trip to my mansion on the Big Island. I think Trixie, Crystal, and Heather are already there...must not keep them waiting in the hot tub!

 
When I read your post,  this was what stood out the most to me.  Craig,  you are my hero.  I want to be just like you when I grow up!

Yes, which is six months longer than it used to be.

People are people and believe what they believe. I was tuning in to our local school board meeting last night and during public comment a group of women used their limited time to explain how our students are being taught to hate America. They were sincere in their belief.

I remember that day I was FORCED to buy a DAW very well. It started out like any other trip to Guitar Center, but there was demo of Pro Audio 9 if I recall. And so I sat in because I wanted to upgrade from Tascam Portastudio 488 (which I still have). At the end of the demo it was asked who had a competitive product, and I raised my hand. Then I was asked WHAT DAW, to which I scrambled and came up with Cubase. I got a good price that day and have kept in cahoots with the bakers since then. Now, they FORCE me to upgrade ...with good deals!

Craig, maybe I'm missing something here but did you post an email someone sent to you personally in a public forum including their personal information? I think you are a good guy Craig and mean the best. But that's a little low especially since you are a representative for Gibson and Cakewalk. You usually take the higher road and think you should have done that this time. It doesn't seem very professional to post this persons email here, and also having a laugh at their expense.
