EveAnna has sold her biz
soix I fear many small businesses will suffer the same fate. I think it’s wonderful when someone is able to sell her well established business to a younger, energetic buyer who has plans to expand the business. That’s a beautiful thing.  
Is it possible to really know what you're doing?

How competitive are you with your system?
carlos269 It is obvious that our understanding of audio recording, playback, and CODEC technologies are on different planes ... That's probably true. My advice to you is to head over to WBF and join the herd there ... No thanks. Herds aren...
