Mike Nicoletti!!
What a shock to hear that the new owners let you go!! I can relate -- I was dumped from my company in mid-April -- my department was dismantled. But, in the five weeks until I started a new job, I did nothing but compose and record music, which of course I mxed down to my Masterlink with your kind assistance (I'm getting killer levels now!). The result was five tunes that I'm really happy with. I should get let go more often!
I hope you find a great job with a great company that will pay you big bucks and keep you satisfied. It's obvious you are a quality person -- you didn't have to spend your time here sharing your expertise, but you did. Bravo, good luck and thanks again.
