A boxed CMS-401. I was hesitant to post seller pics because of how little I paid for it. It arrived today and I haven't had a chance to test it yet. Seller's pic: CMS-401.jpg It actually came with more than what was in the pictures. 1. The warranty cards with the serial number for Cakewalk 3 …

Legacy .NET programs are close to impossible for me to try to run under Linux as well. Why *exactly* was it necessary to come up with .NET in the first place...? What exactly was it "solving"? Why can't people just stick with something with portability like C (and to some lesser extent C++)? DLL …
