y the ability to
open PARIS .ppjs without a PARIS rig) might indeed be of interest to
ex-PARIS users too (who might still retain archives in .ppj format), other
developments (say drivers) would really only be of interest to those who
still have and use PARIS hardware.
To gather those numbers I ruled out the past approach of polls and censuses;
theyıre useful for getting a ³general sense of the community² but theyıre
unreliable. I simply scanned through the NG posts going back an arbitrary
length of time (10 months) and noted every poster I could in that recent
timespan who indicated that theyıre current users (self-identification,
posting PARIS-specific tech support questions, specific error code
questions, etc). I put the info in a database to sort it in different ways
so I could pretty confidently eliminate duplicates. It was a bit
labour-intensive but the end result is that Iım fairly confident in that
number as a ³hard floor² the loss of a few users in the intervening months
would be counterbalanced by the certainty of undercount.
Iıll finish with a general observation - ³what we were² or ³what we might
once have been² has some minor academic/historical interest to me, but as a
"minority case" - a returning user after years of absence - I naturally come
to it from the perspective of ³where we are right now². Iım not interested
in ³might have beens² any more - Iım interested in what we might achieve
starting from here and going forward.
So while it's true we were larger long ago, a hard floor of 125 real users
is a good strong number, an excellent number, for aficionado-driven efforts
for a discontinued niche market DAW to go forward with. Itıs much larger
than some aficionado groups for other pieces of discontinued technology, and
some of those smaller groups have got quite a lot of very meaningful work
done. And 400 users worldwide may not be Nuendo numbers but for small
developers itıs nothing to sneeze at.
Hope this is of interest!
- KerryThanks Dave. I just picked up the APC BX1500LCD model at Fry's. Normally
$199 but it has a $30 rebate, so it's price is $170. It can handle 865 watts
(full draw) for 4 minutes. I should be good to go. That's pretty good since
my former APC UPS was a 650 model and had a 400 watt capability. It cost
me $230 back then. Wayne

I'm a little slower than usual tonight, can you define the
difference between "real users" and "users worldwide"?
400 does in fact seem like an enticing number for developers.
Can you give some examples of "some aficionado groups for other pieces of
discontinued technology" and the progress made
in those settings?
Thanks again,
Ted

Hey Mike-
I already have NoLimit on my mac...
Did you mean the variable knee? or the multiband comp?
TedHi Thad,
N-lite is a program for making a custom xp install disk. It is basically
an advanced version of a pre-installation Windows configuration.
It lets you add and remove components, slipstream drivers and service
packs, pre-install some oem software, etc.
You can then make a custom XP or Vista installer that lets you save a
llot of time if you need to do a fresh OS install.
I mainly use it at work to slip stream Raid and network drivers. Way
easier than doing it with Microsoft's tools. I can't do to exotic of a
setting for our PCs because some will break the Reseal function if they
are disabled on the installer CD.
At home I add and pre-configure a it a bunch more sense I don't have to
worry about the reseal process.
