[Karoshi]

[Electric_Head]

we're soo far behind sometimes.
I`ve just purchased the synths special.
no idea how old it is.
hopefully the z3ta edition is in this afternoon

[eldoogle]

It's pretty old.

[Electric_Head]

i gathered that
the new one will be here soon but it`s annoying when we're a few weeks behind.

Why do they even bother giving it away if it`s half the program?
those limitations are enough for me to change my mind about getting it.
aaah fuckit, who`m I kidding.
It`s free
