Yes that is what I thought I read, cheers. Christophe, yes. As for the Mega bucks I read about…so it is not a rumour. Fat chance of anyone buying him out in future.

the only thing unclear is how much. the sale of Winamp to AOL was in the area of $400,000,000. much of the payment was AOL stock and justins father, an attorney who did much to help Win Amp and sell the comapny, was certainly paid well.

so that rumor mill we talked about has it from $50,000,000 to $200,000,000.

either number makes for lots of financial comfort……….

oh yeah, the Win Amp deal was send $10 if you like the program…. remember? well, that alone generated hundreds of thousands of dollars for justin. a true piece of trivia is justin did not want to charge for Win Amp or have a donation but his father insisted it would be a good idea. dear ole dad! 🙂

i would say Conquistador, you know more about Reaper than 1.0!!

personally i am not concerned about the list above of features that reaper has vs podium. fortunately i do not use rewire, rearoute, cd burning inside reaper or podium, etc. etc.

i am just not of the opinion that reapers feature rich list is that significant. i am however impressed at how fast it is happening.

and yes, Justin works with Christoph but it is easy to see Justin is the driving force. justin is in fact worth a fortune but i believe what that gives him most is the comfort of unlimited attention to his projects….of which there are two other major projects he won’t discuss in detail.

as i stated above reaper is as stable as podium.

i believe that with only a few small exceptions reaper is ahead of cubase and sonar.

although it is not important to me the development at reaper is exceedingly faster than podium. justin puts out an average of two updates per week and most of the time they are not just fluff!

anyway, it is fun to read other peoples thoughts on the comaprison. fwiw i like podium better. and, i like watching reaper move forward. i would have paid the $49 just for that!
