*cough* REAPER requests like this aren't really appropriate here as they'd quickly overrun the place... but: 8M slots should be enough for anybody! (kidding) I think the default for ReaScripts should be something much larger, will look at making that the default. Comment...

Question: It seems you didn't give that lady a chance, the performance is not terrible, first minute is stage fright. But seeing how you treat people on the forums it seems you can't really hold your focus for too long. The forum is starting to look as bunch of people trying to please devs so they keep releasing updates they are so addicted to. Don't you feel it's time you put REAPER to rest and start with something new in life? Things die, it's normal

Question: I've been using Winamp for years, and just recently switched from ProTools to Reaper as my main DAW... and I found out yesterday that you created both! That being said, I mostly just wanted to say thanks for making great software, but I also have many questions... picking one for now that hopefully hasn't been asked a thousand times already: 1. What are some oops! entry was too long... 1. What are some coding projects you started and never finished, if any, for whatever reason? (lost interest in the idea, found an existing solution elsewhere, etc.)
