culture of greed, & Henchman,

I think you guys are far from the average consumer , or recordist. If most people want to build their own computers then why have companies like Dell's sales gone up in the last quarter even. Dell is getting close to 20% of 'world' market share. HP is 2nd. Lenovo(ex-IBM) is 3rd. Apple is barely at 2.5% even with the success of iPod's, & Mac Mini's. I applaud you both for your pioneering type spirit. But facts are facts. And if the majority of people that will become new Pro Tools owners/users computer preferences are guided by current sales trends, & reports not only will they purchase PC's(vs. Apple Mac's) but they'll let an established company build it for them. Now if Terra Digital Audio follow Dell's path of 'rock' solid stability/dependability of product, & issues 'stellar' tech support they could even climb out of the specialty niche of being an audio CPU firm, & start to tread heavily into the consumer market. But we'll see.
