It IS good to see things like this..
I know that there are still good people at Avid. As frustrated as I am over the events of late, I still have decided to support Avid by buying a new system.. even after I said I would not..
I have a great fondness for ProTools.. and I see that it has grown, (though painfully), over the last few years and still may have it's best days ahead of it.. I'm banking on it.. literally.
It is my hope that situations like this become more common and the confusion and frustration surrounding Avid fade.. I'm not as hopeful as I'd like to be, but even in my pessimism I'm optimistic.. or maybe bi-polar..
Glad things are working out for you!
