In mounting frustration over slow delivery on the elusive Digital Performer 4, some of the very creative people on the UnicorNation forum began uploading images of "DP4 Sightings," and it became one of the funniest, most entertaining threads I've ever read anywhere, so I thought I would share it, and pass on, at the end, an *actual* DP4 sighting for all those interested.

If you have any interest in any of MOTU's products, sign yerself up by all means:

Click on "Try the new UnicorNation Bulletin Board now!" at the top. The hilarious thread is in "Digital Performer Forum" and is called "So.... Anyone get DP4?"

For those not interested in signing up for the forum, one member has set up a web page with a slide show of most of the images that have been posted to the thread (it's not entirely up to date yet, but has most of them), and that's here:

And for an *actual* DP4 sighting--Yes, Virginia, there *is* a unicorn--it's at Sweetwater: in stock, ready to ship. Unfortunately, that's only for retail sales, and apparently the upgrade prices (from DP or a qualifying competitive product) are only available from MOTU. And, apparently, MOTU got their product out to retailers before it shipped to upgrading customers. That's what all the fuss has been about in the thread referenced above.

At least they're having fun with it instead of *just* complaining. And fun it is!

Thanks for the link, Levon: really funny
I just posted a news about it at:

Next time, please don't hesitate to directly post it (News styled) in the news section :
Your english is definitively better than mine and you would even get points

About DP4: According to discussions in the french forums, it seems that at least one guy got the DP4 update (unoficially) and he seems to be really happy with the fastness and reliability of DP4:

I love the indiana jone's one, the gollum's one, and also the Chirac's one .
Yours, Levon, is quite funny, too .

Bye.
