You could be right, James. Although, sticking with a hardware based product certainly eliminates any need for copy protection. I wonder how much of that fuels UA's reluctance to release native versions of their software. A DSP IS the ultimate dongle. - I do love some of their plug-ins though. Hate to let it go.

Anyway, as long as my current hardware holds out, I won't be investing in a new MacPro any time soon, but I've said that before. :roll:
