And I bet he has a few dedicated machines just for the job...which tells us where the
hardware sampler guys have screwed up. Should be listening to their customers, me
thinks ;-)

No intention of propagating this nonsense, Joeri, but apropos "platform wars" - to
quote Steve Jobs from years ago

//
What does Steve Jobs say about the plight of the company he started and the strategy of
the man who wrote its first business plan, put up the first cash, and ultimately cast
him out? Not much: "To me it's simple,'' he says. "If I were running Apple, I would
milk the Macintosh for all it's worth--and get busy on the next great thing. The PC
wars are over. Done. Microsoft won a long time ago."

Personally, whatever tool does the job. I used to be a hardware sampler...

Best,
Marc
