My first day was in the late 1980s or early 1990s.

I bought BiaB on floppy disk, put the disk into my Atari/ST and it just worked.

I've seen it progress from a very simple 3 instrument MIDI style auto accompaniment app with 24 styles and no user styles to the beautiful monster of an app it is today.

As programs get bigger with more and more features, there are bound to be various bugs introduced. This happens with just about everybody, Windows OS, Apple OS, Office Apps, and right on down the line.

Things can test perfectly in the lab, using various computers loaded with various other apps. Beta testers expand that, but there is no way it can be tested with the zillions of different computers out there with the variety of apps installed on them.

Since I make part of my living using BiaB, I usually wait until March or so to get the Windows version. By then, most of the major bugs have been found.

Over the decades that I've enjoyed Band-in-a-Box, I've had fewer than a dozen issues that I needed tech help with. PG Music tech help has always been there for me.

Even better, there were a few times when my BiaB aftermarket style customer required help, and the problem turned out to be a PG Music one. PG Music help came to the rescue every time.

Of the software companies that I deal with, PG Music ranks among the very best.
