Interesting. So you draw a correlation between older loopers and 
HW....suggesting that
the older generation is still clinging tenaciously to hardware technology? 
This does makes sense,
given other trends in the technology industry.  I'm willing to bet that if 
you did this
survey in another 10 years,  you would have more than 50% of survey 
participants using
SW. The percentage might be inverted, in fact.

Do you know what percentage of the loopers used SW inside all those under 
35? I'd like
to see the distribution of SW/HW across age groups.

Thanks for doing this, Rainer.
