Hey Chris and everyone... Just in case you or anybody else may be interested, I'm selling pt9, the waves power pack plug in bundle, and a first gen iLok for $200 US plus shipping.
I'm also selling an eight core mac pro desktop with various upgrades, Motu firewire audio/midi interface, and flat panel display etc, (no control surface though). Drop me a message off list for more info... Cameron.
