You can think of > these DSP expanders all as fancy dongles if you will. Bingo. Sure, they're dongles that offer more value added (meaning, DSP Power) than simply a PACE iLok, but they're basically big, fat, dongles. Unfortunately, they are also dongles that offer their own set of issues (long latencies making them useless for tracking, driver issues so that something like the UAD needs to be updated for Tiger, etc). Don't get me wrong, I love the quality of these plug-ins. I think everyone agrees that the UAD1 is truly Tops when it comes to high quality stuff. But I wish they could just invent a fool-proof native copy protection and let the damn things run Natively; let me get my own second computer for extra DSP power if I need it! Orren
