Hehe, thanks for the good wishes everyone.
btw, I felt that Mooch and it brought a tear to my eye.
I did succumb to GAS but only in a small way, I just bought a DSP comp I'd been beta testing and I loved it so much I didn't want to lose it, £40 is at the high end for me, for a plug-in these days being as most stuff is just a variation of the go to plugs I've had for ages, but this was actually a bit innovative and seemed worth the money, as opposed to the $150 update to my current LA-2A UAD offered me.
Anyway, only a few hours left guys and gals to keep the adoration flowing this way...
Thanks.
Mike?
