Me too.

Agreed!!!  I started using Ardour v0.99 (anybody remember that version?)
way back in the day and have never strayed.  Im always impressed with what
can be done between the software Ardour, Paul, the developers, and the
Ardour community.  Thanks to everyone involved!!!

As far as "cheap" goes, when i started into music all i used was a
Behringer mixer for the mic pre-amps($49) and the built-in Soundblaster
card on my computer.  Yup, only 2 tracks per run but i made it do.  If it
wasnt for Ardour then i wouldn't have been able to do anything at all.
 Ardour opens the field for EVERYONE to make music!!!

Thanks again guys!!!
