Yes it is a confusing world - but let me say this: I used to buy on 
"future" considerations. But now I buy on what I need "now".  As far as 
competition is concerned: I don't care if it is Apple or Emagic 
competing against the rest. As long as they all see the need to top 
each other, see the need to keep pace, then I as a consumer will 
benefit.

As for the Emagic-Apple alliance....  I keep using Logic until someone 
else blows me away - just like I used Performer until Notator blew me 
away on a "marginal" platform (Atari). In other words, a few plugs are 
not going to make me switch to a)Cubase and b) PC. Why on earth should 
it?

btw - if you think that MOTU is the creme of hosts... please think RME  
:-)
