Hi Chris My apologies for the delayed response, we are miles behind on E-Mail. I take your points regarding professional circumstances. You're correct, of course, in your assertion that one has to use the most appropriate tool to get the job done quickly and efficiently. I have to confess that I still use Windows in my professional environment because I have too. I have managed to get my head of department to come around to my way of thinking in terms of JFW, it has been abolished now from all of our networked machines. We've moved over to the donation-based system but that's another story for another group.
I was not aware that there was a Sound Forge for Mac. However, I'm very reluctant these days to install trials because of the mess they leave behind if you remove them. Time, I guess, to dig out "TrashMe". I also have a problem with Sony actually because Lynne bought a copy of the other Sound Forge a couple of years back. We got the download links, but no serial number. Therefore, we never got to use it despite numerous attempts to contact the developers. Again though that is for elsewhere.
