[SoundDiver] Re: SoundDiver dies with Lion - what to do?

It can't hurt to write to Apple. My comments to them were:

Apple bought the Sound Diver application several years ago, but has never re-released a contemporary version of it. Sound Diver is a powerful and flexible tool that streamlines music-making. For those of us who use Sound Diver, we find it is invaluable in our music production routines.
As a music industry professional, I am requesting that you update Sound Diver to current OS requirements and either release it as a separate application or bundle it with Logic 10.

But if everyone here writes to Apple and asks for what I've outlined above, maybe tens, maybe hundreds of emails will suddenly appear and Apple will perhaps take some notice.
