What made you buy FL Studio?

edit: Oh no, i pushed it to a new page. Everyone should read Dunny's great post on the bottom of the last one.

I doubt it's shocking news to IL or anything they can feasibly influence beyond just being their awesome selves, but i occasionally (including reading this thread) wonder how they feel about reaching Photoshop levels of "extended demo"-piracy.

Of course Adobe's "solution" was apparently to stop selling the software completely and just rent it out, so when i returned after years of being a teen without spare pocket change doing teen-without-money things i found myself unable to "finally" legally own it. Plus glancing at certain dark places it doesn't appear to have "solved" much.

To bring this sidenote back on topic now i haven't touched Photoshop in ages but use FL every day and enjoy helping IL and others out in this forum (even if i'm sometimes also a bit blunt about it).
