I need some mansplaining about the connection between Great Britain and Cakewalk.  I don't see many french people contributing.

It's a contraction of the phrase 'St Botolph's Town'.
 
Lincolnshire is a very flat county, and St Botolph was able to invent Battenburg while out for a stroll without hindrance from the peaks and troughs of say, the East Ridings. By sheer coincidence, Battenburg is made up of squares, much like other things that are too.
 
HTH.

james, that's got to be one of the funniest things you've ever written here.

It has something to do with pastries.  Not pasties, pastries.

I thought Steve threatened them and they ran away, no?

I just got netflix and watched *the crown*.  So enjoyable and full of history.  You've got to give it to the royal family, they are curators of a rich cultural tradition.

Lots of the competition is/was based in Europe, i.e. Steinberg, Logic (by Emagic before Apple bought them), Ableton, etc.

 
 
Er.......... Cakewalk built it ............... and we came ................ simpules.

Je suis la.

As most people don't speak French, its easier to write in English.
