I have forgotten, one user, me, still is a user and as a user I'm less wary, but even if I'm drunken, I only would use the applet, it's not a command with options that are dangerous, it's in the panel ;). What's useful for some usage, isn't useful for every usage. Most 64 Studio's are private DAWs and no servers for banks or universities. _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
