Xoxos and everyone else in the DC challenge: thank you.
I might not be sober.

As a seriously cash-strapped music-lover who can't play an instrument, who never imagined that he might one day produce sounds via a computer, who can't afford a sampler (I downloaded Shortcircuit yesterday), a keyboard, a drum machine, a "big name" DAW, monitors, synths, effects and a half-decent laptop, and who relies totally on KVR, Computer Music magazine, Reaper, freeware, a crappy computer (and its crappier speakers) and a 56K dial-up connection, allow me to say:
Xoxos and everyone else in the DC challenge: thank you.
I might not be sober.

Very eloquent, Xoxos. 
Actually, I wasn't being completely honest. Last week I bought Ugo's Metallurgy; it's the first time I've ever splashed the cash on an effect, but Ugo's superb freeware convinced me that my money wouldn't be wasted. Hey, Metallurgy is cheap at twice the price. So, in my humble opinion, freeware doesn't weaken the market, it enriches it.
But I still expect a wheelbarrow of freebies next year.
*checks self*
Yep, I'm definitely drunk.
