[ardour-users] re-Is Ardour Invented Yet?

[Mike Jewell]

Wow!  Thanks everyone for all the great pointers/suggestions and general 
encouragement to keep at it with Ardour.  I'll go try all this stuff and do 
some more homework of my own.

Great mailing list.  I look forward to when I can contribute as well.

Thanks,
Mike
