What do you all think of MOTU doing that?
toodamnhip - I like the idea of Ken's Corner, though it would be much cooler marketing-wise to call it Ken's Korner! LOL.

Along the lines of your idea though, (and going OT here), I posted another thread here about the Propellerheads website. They actually have a link on their home page to a page that discusses up-to-date, all the bugs they have currently found in Reason 3.0 and workarounds for some of them. I thought that was cool as hell and found myself wondering why MOTU couldn't (more likely wouldn't) do that.

Sure, they may see it as bad to "advertise" on their website that their software has bugs, but they need to face reality. If the software has bugs, EVERYONE is going to know about it anyway from sites like this one! You would think they would rather post their own version of the truth on their website rather than let rumor and part truths run rampant all over the web!

Oh well,,,,
