What a great story, even if I never was an Audion user. Transmit still rocks though—to this day, it’s the only piece of Shareware I actually paid for. And what a great purchase that was.

I’m not even a Mac user and that was a great story. They missed the chance to become iTunes, and they STILL LOVE iTunes! They are a credit to programers averywhere. If I was a Mac user I would buy their software just because they’re cool like that.
