Thanks Rob, that's good to know. My current system is frozen in place 
due to the domino effect I'd face trying to upgrade anything 
significant at this point. Next step is a new Mac and probably Logic 8 
Pro (with its AU architecture). Dump ProTools... skip iLok dongles 
altogether... at least that's what I'm thinking at the moment.
