i would just like to add that swearing when you are flustered doesn't drive a point home any more clearly or beat the opponent of your argument down anymore. yes, we all swear and get pissed off and -- especially on the internet -- it is easy to get misunderstood, and when you're misunderstood, it is even easier to get pissed, and I understand the need to throw in
damns,
shits, and
fucks, but these really only work in friendly discussions. In a heated debate, it just makes you look like a jerk.
And, when angry or passionate, it is easy to miss some information here or there. This post isn't about misunderstanding Pro Tools. It's about the program's lack of backwards-compatibility (and an engineer's need to access the seemingly innaccessible audio files), which almost turned 20to20's problem into an unsalvageable dillema. Fortunately, there are several minds available to help him out, and in turn,
we all learn from it.
Even the newbie gets that much, and I use Cool Edit Pro!
