You know, the other thing that strikes me as odd about a potential group buy of Redmatica products on the EXS List is that this isn't a subset of his total potential clients; it's all of his potential clients. The _ONLY_ people who can buy Redmatica products are Logic/ EXS 24 users. It's not like this group buy would attract different or new customers for him. It's basically just asking him to discount the products. It's kind of like asking a heroin dealer to give a group discount to heroin users. Who the hell is going to buy anyway except heroin users in the first place! :-) Having said that though - I think I did originally buy EXS Manager through the LUG group buy many years ago...... -------- Eli Krantzberg http://www.elikrantzberg.com http://www.nightshiftorchestra.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
