Hi Chuck,
I should say that Gary Garritan himself does seem genuinely, personally concerned about the awful performance of GPO on Macs. He recently revised the "recommended" specs on the website (but not the box) to be less blatantly misleading -- "recommended" is now 1.6 GHz G5 instead of 733 MHz G4. And he is apparently trying to put pressure on Native Instruments to put more effort into their Mac port of GPO Studio. I'm glad he's working on them -- I just don't have much confidence that these efforts will make much of a difference, given (A) the size of Apple's market share, and (B) the rabidly anti-Mac corporate culture at Native Instruments.

Hi all,
I'm so sorry to hear these reports, since I've been optimistic about the sound quality of GPO's samples and eager to try them. I've just been waiting for the version with the jazz instruments. Now, I'm not so sure (Steve Wright: "I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.") I'll be able to use the software. I await further reports about what the gurus think about the chances of things working in a single processor 1.8 GHz G5 - now with 1.5 GB RAM.
Chuck
