Maybe so, Mooch. Or maybe not.
I'm naturally cynical, but I also appreciate a gift.
The good folks at Cakewalk didn't have to do this. But they did.
At a a time when I have to make every nickel count, this was a welcome ray of sunshine.
Perhaps some will use it as a discount toward a more expensive product. Some, like myself, will get something they have wanted at no cost. Some will waste it, either by choice, or not being aware of it.
Thankfully, I saw this thread, and was able to put the gift to good use.
You know the saying, 'Never look a gift horse in the mouth".
