User Quotes

I've been using Fission to help with my vinyl-to-digital project for the past few days. I'm just writing to say "Thank You" for such a useful and well designed app. First off, it never crashes. That's a "real good thing"[TM]. The tools in the tool bar are exactly what I need for the work I'm doing. It makes a somewhat tedious job go very quickly -- and even downright fun! Keep up the good work. And special thanks to the UI designers and engineers on Fission.
