I purposely did not mention Todor or Soundscape for fear that it might cause
some bias.  So that I am not putting words in his mouth, let me say that it
was my impression that even he was not pleased with how Soundscape turned out.
When talking to people, he repeatedly asked them not to talk about
"Sound******".

Melissa Gray (the "musical person") did.  And I think Todor has become much 
better at user interfaces too.  In any case, you'll have the opportunity to
try the demo version first before you buy.

After the demo, several people (who are into music and own or have used
various other music programs) wanted to place their orders on the spot.

A comment heard from people sitting next to me in middle of the auditorium --
"this blows Dr. T's away."
