Do you think logic will give us the > next big update for free? or a LA Software for a Multiprocessorsystem > also for free? Probably not!!! Firstly your logic's all wrong. Buying another copy of Logic to run on BeOS is totally different from upgrading Logic to a new version! Secondly, Logic running on a multi processor computer doesn't require a ''totally new sofware programmed especially for to use with this multiprocessor system''. It's already here. Logic 4.x was written to run on W2000, that's why it contains 100% 32bit code. It's only the dongle that isn't compatible. Thirdly, Logic subreleases are always free. If W2000 support is in the next subrelease I'm sure it will be free, as G4 AltiVec support for Macs was a free update. I would like to see Logic Be, but at the moment this is looking ever less likely. I was just pointing out the flaws in your argument that a NEVER updated BeOS 5 was a good idea for a Logic platform.
