Good info to know. Unfortunately multi-$100 purchases aren't really in my budget right now. If they were, they'd probably go into a new laptop first.

They can, if the licensing permits, which is a given if it's truly an open source license. Ha...

I'm nomadic, currently oscillating between these poles of interest, as the weather changes. I'm an indie game developer. Primarily a 3D programmer, game designer, and visual artist, but I've done some music a few times in my life and it would be useful for games. Once upon a time I played in a Gamel...
