MLC... I thought you were punching out...??? You just can't stay away. hahahaha Love the sound of your own voice too I'm guessing.
It's great to have you here practicing your typing. Too bad it doesn't make any sense. Perhaps you will generate a verbatim copy of Shakespeare if you keep trying. Science tells us it is a statistical possibility.
My original comment was just offering my initial impression of DP8, hoping to hear from someone who had more information. But an unprovoked attack works for me too.

Initial impression. That's rich.
By the way, the next post is going to totally suck. I have no data to back that up, but since we can post and correct errors if they occur, the next post is going to be DOA.
Same rationale as the o/p.
Help us o/p one. We're almost out of jokes.

Now I remember why all this sounded vaguely familiar...
From the only other thread o/p one has participated in:

Re: Is there no DP 8 thread yet??
FWIW (perhaps, not much) MOTU's running a full-page ad for DP8 on the back of this month's Elec. Mus.
Hard to think they'd spend that kind of money if "The Release" is not too far off....

Haven't seen the ad yet and have so data to make a judgment, but I bet it also sucks.... useless, the ad for DP 5 was just fine!
