Dennis, thanks for the kind words - I'm all for making things as easy as possible for the end user - I use these same tools all day long too ! I was simply sharing my thoughts and concerns about how this *could* be used. Imagine a university where every computer in every dorm is on a node. As stated my Michael, every one of those machines CAN run Logic 7 without additional licenses ! If they all could pool their sample libraries onto a 2 terabyte multi-level RAID HD system, then "Huston, we have a problem".... If this is you at your studio with your older G4 and new G5 getting more productivity and a snappier way of working - I'M ALL FOR IT !!! Again there might be other reasons why this isn't possible, I don't know. Again, thanks for the kind compliments. You made my week ;) By the way - Jeff Gastineau (who replied earlier in this thread) is THE MAN responsible for giving me the name SKIPPY. Way back in 1988 when I first started working for Korg USA, after a product demonstration where I got very excited about a new product, Jeff said "You don't act like a John, you act a lot more like a Skippy, to me" - and Jack Hotop and Ben Dowling were in hearing distance and never let me forget the name....... Thanks Jeff =) -John Lehmkuhl
