YES! Teijo has a 3000 machine with 2.0 himself, it is very much so.

Nope. It's fully 2.0/A3000 compatible

Yes, of course they do!

Yes, it is freely distributable. I *could* ftp it if it wern't for 2 things:
1) I'm net-connected via a long-distance phone and not in the mood to pay
   outrages $'s to send a med to the net from here. I have friends that
   can do it instead.
2) I have found a couple of bugs in 3.00 that I've told Teijo about and that
   I think should be fixed before such a MAJOR release. One is that the
   MIDI sync (incoming) gurus in this version. It did not in the 3.00beta I
   got from Teijo some months back, so he must have stumbled somewhere ;-)
   He asked me to check this for him, since he hasn't got any MIDI-syncing
   equippment.

And Yes, MED3.00 is freely distributable, but both I and poor Teijo working
his *ss of to give you the best muzak program around, think that he (Teijo)
deserves a little something (like a couple of diskettes, a $ bill, sweets,
girls, whatever ;-) to keep him working on it! After all, it's just his hobby.
