DP7 finally includes a lot of the stuff he wanted (all the guitar stuff). It's almost as if MOTU listened to him... only he is not around anymore!

How long has it been? At least more than a year :?

As I recall, someone from the big A has talked to him by phone in the past. Can't remember who. Perhaps we could reach him by phone and coerce the little guy back.

Was just thinking about him last week as I was noticing the DP 7.1 auto-save feature and remembering some of his comments from before.

Hope he's OK. A monkey-hug is in order.

Ditto to the above. A lot of poo is flung 'round these parts, but it just isn't the same without MM.

This will definitely get me going towards that end, however...BEST NEW FEATURE BY A MILE AND THEN SOME!

If anyone from MOTU happens to read this thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. :)

Monkey Man (Nicky) is a good guy. I sent him a couple of emails but haven't heard back. So if anyone knows what his situation is, I'd appreciate knowing.

Yeah me too. I sent him a PM many months ago, and never heard back. I really hope he didn't take a turn for the worse. It saddens me sometimes when I think that we may have lost him.

He was so excited about the music he was working on. I am still hoping to hear it one day, but now wonder if I ever will... if we ever will. The thought of anyone with a dream who doesn't get to see it through to fruition makes my heart heavy. I hope that is not the case here.

Maybe we need to use reverse psychology. You know, like "boy, the forum sure smells better without that dang monkey's poo everywhere!" That should bring him running with a wheelbarrow full of the stuff! :lol:

yeah Mr.Monkey brought a nice bit of levity here in between very good DP related comments and occasional poo flinging.
