I am a PRO seg-cords as well although I dont miss it since [s/r $0-dingsbums] made my life easier. Moreover, the code has already been desired and written, "just" not been implemented in vanilla. Seg-cords + colored box/inlets + pdmtl +pdpedia give the opportunity to really expand the Pd user community, not only the Pd developers side. It took me a while to abandon (definetely I hope, unless the European Community cant resist the lobbying and forbids FLOSS) both traditional sequencers such as Logic (thanks to Pd) and OSes such as OSX (thanks to GNU/Linux), which i did mostly under political reasons (Fight the power :-). Still it would be great that people get _attracted_ to Pd for both its vast possibilities AND usability (including documentation), both low and high level programming prospects. Cheers! OH
