Most excellent, and very interesting! You must have quite an HD on your unit. :-) Digidesign gets very skittish about anything under a 604e @300mhz for PT free, not to mentional the RAM requirements. Are you using PT Free 5.01 or 3.4 (it's first incarnation)? Certainly a credit to the software, and to Macs in general, to be able to use it on your machine. It is indeed one of the most impressive pieces of freeware that I can think of offhand. To George's specific concern, PT is really not very keen on compression of any kind, and his audio files would have been fairly humongous.
