It's good to see you back on the forum, I missed the give and take of DP vs. PT.

I agree your statement above, I think Digidesign charges for minor things that other companies give out for free.
IMO, one of those immensely petty things is charging $20 for the MP3 codec.
That's just not right and it gives the air off of nickel and diming the client base.
Oh hat fun I would have if I ran Digidesign for just one day....
