Only non-coding genes, I think. What scientists once arrogantly called
"junk DNA", which may represent genetic memory or data. In other words,
Logic even today has some design influence from Notator, but probably
more from Cubase if we're honest -- and almost certainly no actual code.

I think they'd be foolish to write their own Pro Tools. Ardour is coming
up fast and it's free. It only runs on Linux at the moment but the
smartest thing Apple ever did was switching MacOS to a unix core (shame
it's BSD but you can't have everything), so there is definitely a chance
of adapting things like this instead of having to start again.

On the other hand, due to the cost of Macs I would far rather Linux 
continued to blossom as an audio platform thanks to the likes of JACK
and Ardour. Of course as a sequencer platform it still doesn't compete
with the ST :)
