Kim is right on target here. Gibson wil never see a dime back
from their investment in Opcode - they should be credited with
taking such a huge risk, considering the competition form market
leaders like Cubase, et al.

It's an understatement to say the idea of a boycott is
counter-productive. Not only is it unwarranted, but even
if you could muster the legions you propose - 40K (highly
unlikely) - it would be about as effective as a flea on an
elephant. As a multi-national company, Gibson is safely
diversified. Its whole guitar division would have to collapse
to have any quantitative effect.
