Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I have been reading this thread.  It is actually quite
amusing!  There are a few points I would like to make,
and then all of you can make your own conclusions.

Number 1:  Computer chips are now designed by computers.
Not without a lot of human input.  The current CPU's would
not exist if they had to be designed by hand - by humans.

Number 2:  Software is designed and written by humans.
Software the complexity of Logic Pro 7 is way beyond the
scope of the human brain.  The group that designed the
latest version are at the "hope and a prayer" stage.  Not their fault!
Until we can get computers to write the code based on what we
desire it to do (like the CPU design) there is absolutely no hope
for bug free software at this level of complexity!  Never.  When you
deal with Trillions of possibilities with in the software - there
is just no way for it to be bug free.

IMHO - I am constantly amazed some of this high end software
performs as well as it does!  Thanks to all that work on it!

Just my 2 cents worth.
