- Sure, and you can imagine how well he would have supported the program.
- Frankly the GS is better of without it. There needs to be a good, as
- opposed to mediocre, sequencer for the GS and a good midi translator.
- If possible a good notational program, assuming MusicWriter is no longer
- supported, would also be nice.

- In many ways the pirate did everyone a favour. It showed just how much
- Aalbers was committed to the program. I, for one, won't miss it. I've
- always considered it junk.
