Re: [Audacity-devel] Download rate

[Michael A. <bug...@vi...>]

I will try to get involved when time permits, but right now between working
for a living, being on the executive of three volunteer organizations,
having a an extremely talented daughter, the bandwidth is pretty maxed out.
Love the project, and I am impressed with the results. Keep it up folks!
